    Not surewhat happened here and unable to remove. Tried to attach an article/video new report about a man out of San Francisco who helps homeless repair clothes on a White Rotary treadle.

    I've seen this article before. That's a great way to help people. I just wish they'd posted more pics.

    Thanks for the story. This also has happen in Africa. A man has a treadle and allows women to sew clothing for their family so we supply our missionaries with plenty of fabric to take over there.
