We visited a middle-aged man who happily showed us a written offer of a good-paying job in the Midwest. But he was short on cash because he had been unemployed a long time due to a disabling injury. He needed a small amount to finish paying his Seattle rent and another small amount to assist with food and gas during his cross-country move.
