"my one outfit"

i know we've all heard stories like this before, but i know i always need a reminder - a good dose of reality to recognize a need vs. a want.

"Esther Dania, 52, single mother of six, lives with her children in a 12 foot tent the International Red Cross gave her last September. Hurricane Gustav and other storm-related floods killed more than 800 Haitians and left over 1 million homeless. Today the tent is her only possession, along with the clothes she is wearing. 'When my one outfit is dirty, I take it off to wash it and then wear it again.' Dania said."
