Living ONE AWAY from Financial Crisis - ONE AWAY Campaign
Loading...
Uploaded by ncoaging on Mar 9, 2011
Like millions of older Americans, Bettye, Maria, and Andre live ONE AWAY -- one payment away, one meal away, and one medical accident away from a financial crisis. We're asking Congress to stop letting older Americans struggle in silence. Join us by visiting the ONE AWAY campaign website and telling Congress what economic struggle looks like: http://OneAway.org
UPDATE: Bettye was recently interviewed by a reporter from MSN Money. You can read more about her story here: http://money.msn.com/retirement-plan/strapped-seniors-trying-to-hang-on.aspx?...

WHY IS IT THAT SENIORS ARE THE FIRST ONES TO BE ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE TO VARIOUS CAUSES FROM POLITICAL TO GENERAL AND WE ARE THE FIRST TO GET LEFT OUT OF THE FINANCIAL PIE. WE HAVE NOT HAD A RAISE IN THREE YEARS BUT EVERY THING WE NEED TO PURCHASE HAS RISEN IN PRICE SO HIGH IT IS NEARLY OUT OF REACH.
