The Poor Get Richer According to the NYT
The poor seem to be getting richer and richer in the New York Times editorial pages…
…”Debra, a single mother who works in health care administration, is one of millions of Americans who do their jobs, believe in paying their bills and are still facing the threat of losing their home. Debra … bought a home in the East New York section of Brooklyn for more than $600,000 in 2006. The house has plenty of room for herself, for her son and for tenants. …
At Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens, Debra found some relief. They gave her $1,650 from The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund for her mortgage and utility bills. But her payment plan is unsustainable. Catholic … Debra is still waiting for a workout that she can afford, hoping to stay in her home. “I wanted my son to have a home, a place to live. This is the legacy I have for him,” she said”…
Won’t you donate to the New York Times Neediest Cases Fund, so that Debra doesn’t have to move into a house she can afford?
