I met Ronnie Richardson, Sr a couple of weeks ago in the waiting area of the Bland Medical Clinic in Bastion. Ronnie is a very open person about his life and circumstances. Within a few minutes conversation, I found out Ronnie cannot read or write, is disabled, is very poor, was an abused child, once ate out of garbage cans to survive, met his wife in a Salvation Army soup kitchen, and has a video blog.
Spend some time with Ronnie on his blog. He is a fascinating man who offers us a rare, behind-the-scenes look at a family living on the edge.


It is Bastian, not Bastion… and the pronunciation is like Bas-tin, not Bast-chan.
Pardon my pronunciation key, I really am not sure how that is done…
