Roland was a carpenter in Virginia.
He and Sheila had three kids—
two boys and baby Jessica.
The baby had been in and
out of the hospital for the last
year because of infections(传染)
and other problems. She was very
weak and sick. The doctors were not
confident(确信) that she would live another year.
Taking care of Jessica was expensive.
The family was deep in debt(债务).
Roland, an independent(独立)
subcontractor(转承包商), had medical
(医疗) insurance(保险), but he had very
high deductibles(可扣除).
Things were bad. Roland saw no
light at the end of this tunnel(隧道).
Then he saw an ad in the newspaper:
“Security(安全)guards/contract workers
wanted. $100,000 a year. First
$80,000 tax free. $20,000 bonus
for extending(延伸)contract an extra year.”
He called the number.
notes:Roland is pitiful.
