I watched this movie on Lifetime. I believe it was in the early 90s. This movie changed me so much. I have also been homeless in my life and I realize that I have almost always been one paycheck away from homelessness. Every time I want to buy something I don't need, I automatically think of this movie I saw as a young person. The parts in the hospital when she was embarrassed to not have insurance and she pulled out the little money she had to pay the bill. And the part when the little girl pulled the donuts out of the garbage. The little girl seemed proud to have provided something to eat (someone else's garbage). That was very moving. In my own life I have learned lessons that I also relate to scenes in the movie. I think of this movie when I complain of the for- profit health care system, or when someone wastes food.
