Hmmm...probably not going to be about what you think it is. It is going to be about 2 families on our street that have children going hungry...maybe not every meal, but wayyyyyy too often in my opinion.
One family is a single Mom of 2 young teens. She decided to start her own business a few months ago, with no start up money, after her boss wanted all employees to go full time and she didn't want to. Well, she isn't rolling in the money now, and her kids came asking for food today. She barely works, and won't go get another job. The bills are being paid by the child support from the 2 fathers of the two children.
The other family has 2 parents and 3 kids, ages 8-14. They have misused their money, on over indulging their children and giving them everything they want, and smoking, drinking, and drugs. They both work, but they blew so much money, that they have nearly lost their house. They are having to make double payments on their house for the next year. So, now they say they can't afford food...and yet, they can still afford to smoke and drink...hmmmm?!?!?
I have started adding children to our dinner table, to at least give them one warm meal a day. I can't afford to feed them all, but a couple more for 1 meal a day, I can do. To the parents I say...get another job!
