Living 30 Days #2- Jacob

8. There were a number of reasons Alex became emotional when they were at The Free Store. It was partially because they had been going through such a hard time lately. They were experiencing all the hardships of living on minimum wage for the first time. They lived in a horrible neighborhood, had no furniture, and barely any food. When Alex saw the services offered to her and Morgan at the store, she was excited to be able to get clothes and other items, while not having to worry about spending money that they don't have. Another reason she became emotional was because she saw that there were all these good people doing things for others. These people were not doing this to gain a profit or benefit them in any way. They were doing it just for the good of others and this made her very happy and emotional.
