Re: rough time
So I'm going to take those squishy hugs please. That would be real nice. I don't mind talking, but I don't have much to say.
Two women came earlier with a food voucher and some bread. They stayed to chat for a few minutes, and may be able to help with a little bit of financial assistance for one of the bills I'm struggling with. They were very kind. It's humiliating asking for help. And much like many of us, I feel I don't deserve it, and other people need it more. But I am in a fix right now, so it helps just a little.
So I had bread for dinner.

Re: rough time
It is indeed humiliating but im not judging you. I had to use one of those services just a few weeks ago myself. At least you can go do a little shopping tomorrow

Re: rough time
Ooooh @Sans911 If you need it, accept it.
I did lots home visits with food and other vouchers. For about 5 years. There were plenty of people who cried poor, but lived in new clean houses with recent model 4wd in driveway. After a while it got to me and I stopped, but each time there was someone who did need it, made it worth it.
My boss in the religious vollie organisation told me I should not have to sleep on a dodgy futon and arranged for me to have a proper bed. We are a prosperous country and standards are slowly getting better. DOnt let your financial situation slide behind. The charities are there to help.
Take Care

Re: rough time
It's horrid though living on such little money, when 3years ago I was earning about 6x more. That's what's humiliating.
