More of us would do something if we just knew what to do
By Holly Harman Fackler, published 13/04/2008 on Mansfield News Journal
A friend of mine has been homeless for the better part of two years. He and his family -- two daughters and a wife unable to work -- have crisscrossed the country on a strange odyssey.

They spent many nights sleeping in cheap hotels or, when money ran out or the weather was fit, their car, now working on 400,000 miles.
