tragic, although the hardship does have a way of bringing us closer to Christ. thanks for sharing, anon.
i remember visiting Portland, Oregon for the first time and being shocked at how vast the disparity between the rich and the poor was. the walls were vandalized end to end with graffiti and prolific homeless encampments with heaps of trash, and then you'd see the main city with it's looming luxury skyscrapers and trendy boutique shops. it's something i'd only ever read happening in books.
