9/11 Hero Needs a "Miracle". Sheriff set to sell home October 30th
From Michael Moore's site

Barnegat man's work at WTC leaves him ill, facing foreclosure


By Emily Previti / Press of Atlantic City

BARNEGAT TOWNSHIP, NJ - Charles Giles has endured failing health, mounting medical bills and limitations to life as he knew it before Sept. 11, 2001.

Soon, he might add homelessness to the list.

When Giles, then an EMT, responded to the disaster scene at the World Trade Center more than six years ago, he didn't think it would later cost him his home.

But days of inhaling fumes at the site continue to provoke health problems that have prevented Giles from working. The problems were compounded by unanswered medical claims.

4. Hey, hero or no, you've still got to survive in our free-enterprise system...
...if you can't compete, that's life. Survival of the fittest, don't you know? :sarcasm:
