Grey is a new black in my books! Outfit details 👉🏻 ~ On the other note, I want to come back to the topic of charity and helping others. I will honestly say that I was shocked to see many comments and DMs in the notes of "let them work for their socks if they need them!", "helping only breeds laziness!", "maybe if these kids work hard for their underwear they will ensure THEIR kids don't have to", etc. Do those comments have a ground to them? Absolutely. Many people, adults, unfortunately abuse the system. I've seen it first hand. But not everyone does. Not everyone who needs help even has access to the "system". Let me tell you a little story. A personal one. A real one. From my life. In our early years of marriage we were, what others would say, beyond poor. We married young, I gave up a very good professional offer to wait for my husband to finish his degree, and although both of us worked, we had VERY little. We lived in a "mother-in-law" basement apartment and my first Christmas present was a leather bound book that I dreamed about but we couldn't afford : it cost $49. That's to give you an idea of our reality then. But we were very happy. We knew it wouldn't be forever and it was romantic ( "poor student" life, you know). In a couple of years things got better(as they should have) we moved to a nice little place with lots of light and extra room and planned for a second child. We helped all we saw who were in similar situations - we didn't ask, just helped. We knew it was appreciated. And then a preemie was born with all its financial aspects apart from physiological and psychological. We tried very hard to keep things up during the year after. Because we both worked, we made "just a little" too much to qualify for government assistance we desperately needed, but far not enough to keep us afloat. So, I cried a little because I loved our place so much, and we moved again. To a very, very tiny 1 bd place. Nobody really knew how difficult things were. Our home always looked beautiful no matter the budget or space, so everyone assumed all was great. A little time passed and👇🏻 http://liketk.it/2slBl #liketkit @liketoknow.it
