O.and Lisa Ling Aired An educational and compassionate piece on persons who were once well to do but are now homeless and/or in abject poverty largely due to the rrecession
Ling interviewed families living in homeless shelters and spent the day with them to see what their day to day lives are like. She starts out by interviewing a single mother with 3 kids. Her one son will turn 11 tomorrow. last year he asked for a "Nintendo Wi" for his birthday. Ling asked him what he wants this year?
"Well, since we don't have rent to pay, I'd like a cake and a lot of love
OMG, this is amazing isn't it? !
Ling was also deeply moved by his response. Ling asked his sister if she likes the shelter?
"No. I can't sleep at night because the employees are playing radios and there is no privacy. We don't know if the other residents have weapons or not"
