You can't help everyone, but we help where we can. Family of three, Venezuelan mum & two kids who've been out begging on the highway all day in a muggy heat.
Took them to the discount store. $15 Canadian stocked their household for at least a week.
It is staggering how little can help so many. I'll be in ayunos most of May (for writing clarity; it helps with focus), but it's super hard to watch kids go without. (The older brother was such a sweetheart with his little sister the whole while.)
I just want to add that I don't post these things to receive praise.
It's really uncomfortable, making such posts, because of the praise they yield.
It's just that we don't *really* talk much about poverty, & we don't have many ways to normalize discussing #MutualAid without citing our own need, or how we met someone else's.
So I do hope that this & similar posts are taken in the light intended.
The *hurt* of so much need is what I'm sharing.
I know you do what you can where you can too. 💙
