On this week's Sprouts: one woman's journey out of poverty. The child of migrant farm laborers, Donna Beegle found herself at 25 a single parent with little education, and no job skills. Today Dr. Beegle has devoted her life to helping others, and making a difference for those living in the crisis of poverty.
