I also heard from Mike Miller who was doing all he could to get a job and earn his living. But when his car got a flat tire, he was fired from his temporary job at the mushroom plant. And then when he went to his sister-in-law's funeral to pay his last respects, he was fired him from his next job. He is willing to work, but he said, "you get to a point where you give up hope." Reverend Mel Franklin of the CARE Outreach food pantry in McArthur has been doing all that he can to assist Mike, including paying for new tires out of his own pocket.
