Heroes Among Us - Theresa Phillips - Making a better world helping each other

Dick Gordon hosts a wonderful radio show on American Public Radio called, The Story.

On May 11, 2009, he had a great show entitled, "Teamwork In The Trailer Park." Here is a description from the web site:

Theresa Phillips' vision of the American Dream for her children is that they are safe, regardless of the path they take in life. Her work within a trailer park women's co-op in Battle Creek, Mich., shaped that vision. Theresa says she moved to the community to escape an abusive past. To her surprise, she found many women in the same boat. So Theresa invited all the women in the trailer park to her lot to figure out how they could change their lives. Dick Gordon talks with Theresa about how helping out with childcare and food turned into a vibrant, home-grown support network, a new kind of American Dream.
