THE PEOPLE'S STORY
Thelma is living alone in a small town in Nebraska. She is a diabetic and relies on a wheelchair to get around. Her social security check is barely enough to cover the rent on her small house and she has no means to make a living.  Thelma's husband, Rolland, a long-time carpenter and provider for the family, passed away last year leaving Thelma alone and in a state of depression.  At one time Thelma was a vibrant woman who cared for others.  Although her and her husband had no children, it was not uncommon for the couple to care for the small children in their modest neighborhood.  Thelma is now dependent on the kindness of others to help her meet her monthly bills and pay for her diabetes medicine.
