She&#8217;s a woman who lives to help other people in need, and will whatever it takes to make that help happen. She&#8217;s focusing her effort&#8217;s on Halifax County&#8217;s homeless situation (and if you don&#8217;t think Halifax County has homeless people, you need to start looking around). She&#8217;s organized the &#8220;Do Something&#8221; initiative and her goal is to open a homeless shelter in the county. Her efforts can be helped by the local government&#8217;s efforts to adapt and change the zoning laws to help find a place for the homeless shelter. We&#8217;ve already picked up stories of a reluctance to help from the Town of South Boston, and that&#8217;s got to change.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong><\/span> to Scott Brooks and his crazy ideas that seem to work out.
