About One Crisis Away
KERA News followed four families in North Texas, who were trying to recover from unemployment, survive retirement, beat back debt, and fight their way through a medical crisis.
Here are their stories.
One Crisis Away is funded in part by the Communities Foundation of Texas, The Allstate Foundation, the Texas Women's Foundation, The Fort Worth Foundation and the Thompson Family Foundation.
In conjunction with the project, a public forum was presented at Dallas City Performance Hall in February 2014.
