CONNECT NY
Being Poor - Too Old to Work
Season 3 Episode 302 | 56m 46s
In Utica, NY an elderly woman is unable to work; a harsh reality many like her face today.
We continue our poverty series with a focus on seniors and fixed incomes. We explore why their numbers are increasing, the compromises many seniors must make on a daily basis to afford housing, and the pitfalls of our social safety net. The Connect team traveled to Utica to meet Dona Ross, a senior with multiple sclerosis making due despite extreme financial challenges.
