I went to a food bank today for the first time in my life. I didn’t expect much, it’s charity after-all.
They gave me 2 big carrier bags - I couldn’t stop thanking them and carted them home.
When I opened them at home I noticed chocolate. I cried…cos I hadn’t even thought of buying myself chocolate in months cos it seemed so frivolous. But they put some chocolate in. It was so kind.
There’s so much suffering out there. It can happen to anyone. I founded and ran two companies in my 20s. High flying career and was making £50 at my last job in tech.
All fell apart 2 years ago. Been struggling to piece my life together ever since.
Please be kind to each other.
@Fudoshin @DessertStorms Support your local food bank! It doesn't take much money to provide a big bag of food for folks.
Farmers, please grow a little more produce and give that excess away if you can.
