Today I have hit an emotional wall. I like so many other people struggle with making ends meet from payday to payday. I am a generous person giving freely of my time to others, helping with food and clothing drives for local food banks and community organizations. But today I need help. This month I couldn't pay my rent ( the first time in years) or buy grocerys, so I called social services for help, I was told that they could not help me.
I am a widow, I get ODSP and I work part-time. So some people may say "why doesn't she have any money" because I have bills to pay and after "robbing peter to pay paul" for months it finally caught up to me. Do you know what its like to tell your grandchild they cannot sleep over, not because you don't want to see them, its because you have no food to feed them, and are too embarrased to tell your own family?
So if anyone has any ideas or has seen My Dignity Please let me know....
