No, I really don’t but maybe you can explain it to me and I’m not being sarcastic. I just saw this and wanted to share. I guess I find it hard to believe that we have our elderly living like this in America.

I read it. It was an interesting story. You can get more people to engage by providing details.

The link is the Meg Farris WWL TV interview with the woman and then people trying to help her before she loses her home.
This is a sad and tragic story. Hopefully, they will have a beautiful ending. I can't imagine living under those conditions for over 20 years and not having anyone to help. Prayers for the little lady.

It’s 2024. There is no such thing as a blind link. Just hover your cursor over the icon if you’re on a pc or open a preview on your iPhone by keeping your finger on ‘Link’

She's been gluing walmart bags on her roof since Hurricane Katrina (2005)? No AC. They were only married a month? This is a bizarre situation.

Instead of just a LINK... something like this would be helpful:

Thank you for your help. It was a really sad thing to see but in the end, I’m thankful that this man come upon her and wanted to help. With so much negative going on in the world it was good to see something positive.

This "I'm so rich" shtick has really worn thin. More established people (myself included) like to think that the poor are given every opportunity to elevate themselves in this time and place, but then you come here and see people making fun of their phones, talking about dumping their nasty crawfish boil garbage in their neighborhoods, etc. and it makes me question that narrative (at least when it comes to South Louisiana).

It’s not a blind link. If you hover your mouse over the link you can clearly see it’s a wwltv article.

Well people still use those tiny/short URL generators that basically do create blind links for the average man.

Androids have better user features and are easier to fix. Not everybody is stupid enough as you to pay 80% more for a "status symbol" phone. Wouldn't be surprised if you drove a BMW/Mercedes because "it's more expensive."

Didn't make sense to me at first either. They were together for 15 years but only married a month before he passed away from cancer. Maybe he thought she would get survivor benefits if they were married. Unfortunately, the weren't married long enough and she doesn't get anything. She does have a little rental on her property that nets 600.00 per month income but if she kicked out the old men that live there out she'd have absolutely no income. She really has no other family to help and no children. At the end of her story with Meg Farris, she talks about leaving her property after she passes to maybe become a battered women's home or a safe haven type home. A blessing could come out of her sad life after all.
