room I turn up the dial on the portable heater and pull down the curtain separating the living trailer from the hallway in hopes that the always-frigid temperature of the room will rise. The dollars we live in is so decrepit that if we on the heat, the bill will be elose to three hundred for the month, which is one third ofour monthly income. The conditions of living in a condemned trailer tend less than appealing, the least; we have mold that is or the ceilings, holes in the walls where the icy air comes through at night, and when it rains the water comes in and soaks the floor two feet into the doorways. However, we haven't always lived in such harsh conditions.
