No doubt you've heard on Friday mornings during Morning Edition. Intimate one-on-one conversations are recorded in the traveling StoryCorps booth and played back on the radio. Some years back sponsored by 瓜神app. One of the conversations from that Durham visit is now part of an animated series from StoryCorps.
That conversation begins on the streets of Chapel Hill, NC, where former 瓜神app engineer David Wright befriended and helped homeless Eddie Lanier escape a life of alcoholism.
The it like this:
Eddie Lanier struggled with alcoholism for over 40 years, until his 28th stint in rehab finally led to sobriety. Homeless and hungry, Eddie roamed the streets of his native Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and found a friend in David Wright, a passerby whose frequent donations stood out. Here, the two friends discuss Eddie's remarkable journey.
