KERA's series One Crisis Away looks at four families on the financial edge. In this profile, meet Shirley Martin, a 72 year-old woman living in Desoto. Divorced and a breast cancer survivor, Shirley can't afford to live on her small annual retirement and Social Security, so she takes in boarders through a nonprofit called Shared Housing.
Here's KERA's video of her story. [Listen to the radio story here.]
