This episode wasn't what we expected.
It's turned out to be something more.
Arriving to Arkansas, we found Bill gravely sick yet afraid to go to the hospital. But with the support of his family, friends, and all of us who've come to know him through these stories, we helped steer Bill toward treatment.
He would be diagnosed with COPD and COVID-19.
From his hospital bed, we kept in touch, seeing him through his recovery and eventually returning to his dogs, donkey, and his gal, Norma Jo.
This episode isn't lighthearted like the previous three. It is, however, more revealing and powerful. AND it coincides with The Periphery's mission to help those whose stories we share.
This episode is affiliated with our nonprofit The Periphery Foundation (theperiphery.org). Donations made in Bill's name will all go toward help him and Jo, as they face expenses and housing costs following Bill's hospitalization. Or, donate to our GoFundMe already set up: www.gofundme.com/f/tipping-ar...
Thank you for watching and caring.
