"Let us march on poverty until no American parent has to skip a meal so that their children may eat. March on poverty until no starved man walks the streets of our cities and towns in search of jobs that do not exist. Let us march on poverty until wrinkled stomachs in Mississippi are filled, and the idle industries of Appalachia are realized and revitalized, and broken lives in sweltering ghettos are mended and remolded." ~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A Raleigh couple tells their story of being out of work for a year and living in their vehicle. Raleigh News Station, WRAL, aired a story on the Monday night news of a local couple facing homelessness. It's an account worth reading... http://www.wral.com/lifestyles/family/story/10750569/ . Also, be sure to check out the follow up story to this article at ... http://www.wral.com/lifestyles/family/story/10757849/ and read the ways that fellow North Carolinians came together to help this couple.
