Red Alert!
This just came to my attention, and it's shocking.
We have the hardest economic times in recent history, and guess
which businesses have the Fullest parking lots? And I mean ,overflowing? It's the Casinos! A closer look at the customers,
one of which, by the way, came to see me for help, reveals that these are Not affluent people, who you'd think, can afford to gamble. No, they are mostly the opposite. And not short of money only Because they gamble. No, these , for the largest part, are people out of work, with unemployment benefits long gone, or folks who just can't find a job that pays enough to live on. These are people of all ages, all denominations, often desperately hoping to make more out of what little they have. And sometimes they do. But, according to my client, that's where it becomes tricky. When someone gets lucky once, they almost always think it's going to happen again. And many try and fail and succeed and fail twice and so on. This is what happened to this lady. Desperation and hope are so close together. And then there's a point when there is no more money. What to do then about gas, school lunch, the mortgage and the telephone? It happens too fast for many to be able to deal with it. The tragic part though is, that these are Not people that want to live recklessly, with no regard for family and responsibility. These are people that have been 'thrown out of the water' , that see no better possibilities of making enough.
Your neighbors, perhaps, who are running out of options.
I know my client has, and so I offered to put up this call for donations. Perhaps it will brng enough for her to survive this crisis.
