A little white house is shown in Cooleemee, N.C., earlier this month. For years, it was home to a man named Stevie Smith. Following his death in 2016, for a short time, the little house became a symbol of hope when Smith’s sister donated it to a nonprofit organization for use as transitional housing for the homeless. But instead of an enduring example of local philanthropy, the little house on South Main turned into something else entirely: a cautionary tale littered with regret and hard lessons for all involved.
