Dear Heather,

I read your 'letters' daily. I am a single, elderly woman who worked many years and now benefits from Social Security and its related programs. I was moved and inspired to read about Frances Perkins and what she accomplished directly and through enlisting others. I knew about the horror of the Triangle Shirt Fire. But I didn't realize all that went into forming a structure that our country could use for its citizens who needed support and/or assistance. Thank you so much for reawakening my sense of our country's history with its glory and its shame. Somehow after reading your letters, I do feel some hope for our future.
