If you can't help out in Portland, please consider buying something from their website, like the t-shirts or the sea glass pendants.
Morton has even attached ribbons to the lucky pennies he's found along the roadside, and they are selling those, too.
I'm not usually the type to give money to strangers or panhandlers. Sometimes I've been in awe of the naivete of this couple. I wonder why the did some things. But then I think of the sheer audacity it takes to walk around the country--starting out when you weigh ~400 lbs. She's so open about her struggles, and there is something sweet, sincere and genuine in her spirit that just draws me to her. She's nothing if not persistent. That's what keeps me coming back to the site, and offering my ideas and makes me willingly part with the pittance I have.
If you can't just give money, buy something from their website. If you have connections for a place for them stay in the area, please let them know. If you can't do that at least send good vibes their way?

Sounds like they're taking the train home to Pennsylvania now.
