    :'-( hard for me to understand that most don’t see food as a right. Most especially in Canada / USA / Europe will never understand true hunger and poverty. I see this as good and bad. Would be best if no one ever had to know.

      I was homeless for just shy of five years a little over a decade ago before I got help and eventually got where I am now. It’s not much, it’s not a good situation, but it’s better than where I was and there’s hope of it improving. I’m doing a lot better than the vast majority of the people I knew back then.

      I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
