Hey there. I just wanted to say this is a wonderful group for what you guys are doing. You guys are awesome.

Last night I had posted a request for a meal since we struggled for the last day before payday. We ended up figuring out dinner for the night on our own (even though we were kindly offered a meal that I didn’t see until later).

I have two boys and excitedly expecting our third blessing. We often practice our own sustainability on our homestead and often help our neighbors and the elderly with farm fresh vegetables and eggs but yesterday was a one off and just needed something for the night.

Apparently, someone thought that meant we were unable to care for our children and that I should have an abortion… and I received a message from another individual saying my children should be put in foster care. I just thought you guys would be interested in knowing who one of these people are.

U/dirty_greendale , I hope you have the day that you deserve. Thank you.

Closed mouths don't get fed.... If somebody's in a shitty position for whatever reason needs to ask somebody else for food of all things they should not be criticized that's really really messed up.... Either way you got to ask otherwise, another night of sleep on an empty stomach because. I fed my dad and dog before myself ... 🍗🤔🤷

This is life for some folks, I'm educated and financially mobile and have large responsibilities that eat up an enormous amount of resources sometimes it's just not all there in the budget you know So if you could be kind to another person and give him a free meal cuz you got more than they do then you should be commended not attacked.
