ALICE Update - Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month - Maren Sanchez Home Foundation

This week host John Voket opens with a data specialist from United Way of Connecticut talking about housholds designated ALICE - Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. We'll learn why four in 10 affected households are still facing crippling financial challenges, and explore the consequences when households don't earn enough to make ends meet.

Then we'll focus on imprtant health information since March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. We'll chat up a Danbury Hospital gastroenterologist about improving digestive health and ways to reduce your risk of developing colorectal cancer.

And we'll close highlighting the Maren Sanchez Home Foundation and its upcoming "A Magical Night in Havana" gala, which is raising funds to help empower more young women to defend themselves against verbal and emotional manipulation and physical violence.
