THE SAVIOR OF SKID ROW
I believe that Alice Callaghan is only concerned with her pocketbook, not with other people, as she claims. Last year I was six months pregnant and had a 9-month-old son. We were on Skid Row and those single-room occupancy hotels do not take pregnant women, whereas the mission fed us three meals a day and gave us diapers, formula, food, clothing and counseling. Callaghan also claims that there are not many families on Skid Row. She needs to take another look.
