Dallas, TX, USA
"People need to help each other and that's all there is to it," explains Marilyn Mock. That's the reason she gives for a random act of kindness that changed the life of Tracy Orr. Orr attended a foreclosure auction in Dallas today, resigned to seeing her own home sold to the highest bidder.
