To the Editor:

Re “As Jobs Vanish, Motel Rooms Become Home” (front page, March 11):

This story is enough to make a grown man cry. I know it is, because I just did.

My life growing up in the Great Depression was no picnic, and many of those memories leave me embittered even to this day. But never did our family, at least, experience anything like what your article depicts.

Help those of us who have read this story: tell us where we can send money to help these down-and-out people.
