Carolyn Parham faced a life-changing challenge when she received an unexpected check in the mail.  Producer David Schultz shares Ms. Parham’s story with us.  David is a a broadcast journalist based in Washington, DC. He reports for public radio station WAMU, the NPR affiliate in Washington.

This is the first story we’re podcasting from the “Our City, Our Stories” project.  Funded by the Humanities Council of Washington, DC, SpeakeasyDC has been collecting stories on tape from across the city. We are excited to share the first of four audio documentaries.

We are also pleased that Metro Connection on WAMU is airing “Our City, Our Stories” as a series this Winter.
