On Thanksgiving Day, the Boston Globe published an article about a Rhode Island man named Patrick Fealey. He’s a former journalist who wrote about his experiences with homelessness in Esquire magazine.

 A Narragansett family tracked him down and found him a place to live. His story has gone viral, generating an overwhelming response and helping push his GoFundMe page to over $160,000. Patrick Fealey joins host Ed Fitzpatrick to talk about his story and the response he has received. Tips and ideas? Email us at [email protected].
