After reading your piece I will probably spend my day wondering about Amada Sandoval and the 61 year old making minimum wage. These two people are representative of a very large part of society who go about their day carrying the weight of their lot but get up the next morning and do the same thing again. These are the people with real courage. I will think about Amada Sandoval and wonder why, at age 72, she is still working as a cleaner at the airport.

I would love to hear her story. I wonder as well about the 61 year old who is still making a mere minimum wage. What is this person’s story?

My frustrations have to be negligible compared to theirs.

We may not be able to help Amado Sandoval or this 61 year old but we have people just like them in our community. We can help relieve the frustrations of some of those within our reach.

Todd, I am pretty sure you already do that.
