“I think for a lot of folks who have never gone through difficult times have a harder time understanding what that does to your whole world. I was laid off at the height of the recession in 2010.

I’m so hopeful that there’s a renewed sense of empathy for how quickly our situations can change. And what those impossible choices lead to.”
