AZ Central.com: It was the face that launched...4,053 chumps...

In July, Taylor took the deal, (calling it)..."a beautiful resolution to a very long, very hard journey." On Monday, Taylor failed to meet the deadline for funding the trust...And all those good-hearted people? Well, I imagine a number of them will think long and hard before offering another hand to someone like Shanesha Taylor...and that is the saddest part of this sad story.

There comes a time in everyone's life when they need a second chance, and if they're lucky enough to be offered one, then that's special...I've met plenty of single mothers who make do and get by and put their children first. If they were given $115,000 to secure their kids' futures, they would make the most of it...What a shame that Shanesha Taylor has squandered her...second chance – and maybe even theirs.
