Time to remember that some ask only for what many of us take for granted.

Damn. I guess that food stamp money isn’t making it to him.

The next day, Espiricueta asked the student about her letter to Santa. The girl said she wanted a ball, rather than a doll, so both she and her brother could play with the toy. She told the teacher she wanted eggs for food.


Damn

Anybody that can prove they are poverty stricken can obtain an EBT card in all fifty states. And you can eat on that $180 -$235 a month depending on which state you live in. You won't eat like a Royal but you can put food in your belly all month if you're frugal. There is no reason for anybody in 2017 America to not eat. This little girl and her brother need social services to get involved asap.

frick me man, seeing that note actually got me choked up


I've been stressing about "money" all day because my job/savings don't look quite how I would like them to, and here's a little kid without a damn blanket.

Shame on me, and props to the teacher for doing something about it.

That is when an attorney should set up a trust to accept donations. The proceeds are solely to be used for the well being of the kids.

Reminds me of my nephew. He's such a sweet, humble kid. All he asked me for for Christmas was a pair of shoes.

Does anyone know anything about these "Z02's" and where I can get them?

It's generally the parents responsibility to provide.

I hate to be cold but if a child is lacking basic necessities in the united states in 2017, there is a peice of shite adult somewhere in the equation.

i know this has to be sarcasm, but i'm sure whoever is taking care of her would love more cash for whatever drug they are trading their food stamp $$ for

Are you stupid? There are like 9 million people living in extreme poverty in the us. The motherfricking UN is over here researching them. Think about that. The UN is like “I was in Mogafrickingdishu last week and now here I am in Lowndes County Alabama and the fricking Africans May be better off.” Grow up, Peter Pan.
