Sally and her team are working exhaustively, each and every day, to provide tutoring, resources and overall guidance to the estimated 5,000 children of Indianapolis that are being affected by homelessness this year alone. Sally and John touch on all aspects of what this wonderful team of 22 are accomplishing in Indianapolis, and Sally provides some amazing insight into the crisis that affects ALL of us. Get involved! On the social side, they also have a little fun by discussing Sally’s most memorable celebrity encounter, her buddy Peyton Manning, her loyalty to her sports-challenged alma mater, and argue about her disinterest in communicating directly with animals?!
