Jerry Horton shows off one of his plants at his apartment in Coeur d'Alene. When he moved into his own place with the help of a Coeur d'Alene outreach program, he was granted one wish for the apartment: he said he wanted houseplants. He was used to living among foilage -- he'd been homeless before the first of this year. The plants came, via a network of people who help the poor. Story here. (Kathy Plonka/SR)
