Hope and hopelessness for a Gaza heart patient [View this email online]( [NPR]( Goats and Soda editor's note Malaka Gharib/NPR It's a classic line from the great Tennessee Williams: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." And when I came down with a case of COVID while on a trip, I learned that it's not just a literary construct. Strangers can be incredibly kind.
