White House lauds Chelle’s advocacy
The last several months have been a real struggle for my little family, more so than most. Money has been very tight.Things were so tight,I found myself having to work weekends and adding additional hours to my 12 hrs days just to keep our heads above water. Add injury and illness to that already stressful situation and you have the perfect storm for a struggling, low-income family. It's an awful place to be. So, I sat down at my computer and wrote about my pain, fears, and frustration. That story was featured at Better Idaho and Huckleberries Online. The story was viewed more than 20,000 times! While I am proud to speak out against issue of poverty, it is still hard. I've received some hate email and some wickedly mean comments online. A few people have even demanded that I leave my Idaho home, calling me a traitor to my state/Chelle Gluch. More here (including copy of White House letter applauding Chelle's advocacy).
