It’s with great sadness that we see some brand new faces lining up at soup kitchens all across D.C. Many look embarrassed about the fact that they are standing in line along with people who look like they are homeless or living in poverty.
Oh well, it’s rough out there. Welcome to the club, folks! As wild as it sounds, if you need something to eat or to learn how to survive during these hard and trying times, guess what? Ask the nearest homeless person you can find. Sure enough, you will find the help you need.
There should be no shame in seeking help. Anything can happen, whether financially or personally. You can end up on the street just like the last homeless person you walked by who was asking for some help.
The world is round and it always turns around. No one is better than anyone standing in a soup kitchen line waiting to get a meal and some aid during these hard times. We are all in the same boat. Good luck!
See you in line. And please don’t cut the line. Please. Thanks.
