It's been ten years since Heather Klinker started Give Good Works, a thrift store and charity in Wynwood. She wanted to give women on the street a second chance. We started out with her story, but sometimes in this business one story leads to another. Klinker introduced Under the Sun's Alicia Zuckerman to Jennifer Rousseau, who candidly talked about her transformation from an addict and prostitute to a sober person with a steady job.

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
