I've met so many people with similar stories around my part of the world. They're each unique but they're all just trying to make it tomorrow and many wanting to make tomorrow better then yesterday. We all have stories to tell but it's important to listen too. Thank you for sharing these stories.
Not saying this is true but I deal with a lot of people similar to this, and their stories are sometimes fictional. They believe it in their head and heart but it’s purely a mad up reality in their own mind. It’s quite sad.
When they were kids they had dreams. Then they grew up and became just another product of the system. Tax those zero tax paying American corps and help these people.
