Craigslist Joe: “To know that we can take care of each other . . .”

. . . said “Craigslist Joe,” to his loving mother, who raised him to trust people, on return from his month-long odyssey across the United States, with no money, no credit cards, no contacts with friends, relying on the kindness and generosity and shared lives of strangers he met on craigslist.
