"I met Luke at the library"

Today, I remet Luke. Luke is 25 and lives here in Carroll County. He only makes 8 dollars an hour at his job for the red cross. As a result he lives in a tiny room in someones house where he says he has little privacy. He cannot afford the entire rent, his dad has to subsidize him. But since his dad is unemployed he's worried that his dad won't come thru with this months rent. His mother is disabled. Luke cannot afford a car and has to either walk or have his dad drive him. He's young enough that perhaps he has the strength to do the walking. Out here there are no sidewalks and I'm sure it's still a very hard life. he said he sleeps very little and his phone is due to be shut off today...........................................
