There is always someone worse off. I just got this email from my friend Kim, that works at a community center.
"So I just helped this lady with food. She hadn't eaten in two days. She was so weak and shaky... I had to sit her down and give her something to eat so she wouldn't pass out. She lives in that ratty ass motel next door. No oven. No stove. Just a microwave and a hot plate. And no can opener. So then I'm pulling down food and she starts crying.
A year ago she had a house, a job, etc and now this is where she is. Oy vey."
She could only give her so much food, because of no can opener.
How awful :(

That is such a sad sign of the times. The way its going I might be next. :(
Oh yeah. I have gone on some home visits and seen this. Many of my students get their best meal @ school lunch. Ack.
