Day Laborer Injured

I can't stop thinking about a day laborer who was injured a few days ago at work. He cut his left arm on some metal. Someone tried to stitch it for him on the jobsite but he's been in pain for days. His rent is due on Saturday and he feels desperate to work. He was back out at Home Depot today to look for work and was trying to hide the fact that he had an injury (cover the bandage). Another worker told him that perhaps he could get something with a leaf blower and just use his right arm. Many folks in this country are a paycheck away from destitution. These men are only days away.
