We love bloggers here @soulbird. We especially love blogger Daniel Stephen Johnson of New Haven, CT, USA (@linernotesdanny):

Comments
Winter can be a difficult time for those living in poverty in Canada. The Christmas bills roll in, heating bills soar, and a broken zipper on a winter coat can bring a person to tears. With the lack of light, extra expenses and difficulty getting out, depression can deepen.
We decided to do a second round of filming in early February to try to capture some of the difficulties the film participants face during the long, often bleak winter months. Here are updates on the four mothers we filmed in June, plus a summary of the interview we did with Alison, who was unable to participate in June.
