A good day on turf

by DeAndra McCollum—Ohio

One of the great inspirations that I had on turf was when I knocked on an elderly person’s door. I was told her who I was, and explained that I was fighting to keep jobs in Ohio and lower the cost of health care. She said it was a coincidence because her husband’s job was just shipped to Mexico and told me how hard it was for them to pay their bills. They may lose their home pretty soon if her husband did not start doing something. The only income she had was the disability she receives of $600 a month and she thanked me for what I was doing and said good luck to me. So that made me feel great that I was doing something to help someone especially an elderly person.
