Ms. No Name??

re: >>Why should it? Because I grew up poor and had to suffer from the attitudes of people who grew up rich and thought that I should be happy and grateful for state charity or because as an adult I have to suffer the attitudes of do gooders who continually discount my success by telling me that escaping from poverty was somehow easier for someone like me?<<

I guess I grew up poor too, materially speaking, relatively speaking to the rest around here, on a sidehill ranch on the drier part of the state. But I don't whine... In a log home built in 1898 or so.. We never had any gawddam time to do much else except to survive..

And survive we did, Spiritually, morally and with the understanding we HELP each other with our own hands, our OWN goddamn hands that so many here diss, like those that even try to help with HFH..

And you know what, we flourished ALL, because of OUR moral character, and knowing we had help, if needed if one slipped, as we all slip in life. That is so important... A safety net, if you will, if one wants to try for the moon.. Provided, not a big bro, but by our friends and unknown neighbors like HFH if needed.... Fortunately, we didn't need it..:)

And just REMEMBER, ALL of US are not that far from the EDGE..<ng>

AND WE CAN'T FORGET PEOPLE LEFT BEHIND..

That is if we CARE..


But that's what organizations like HFH are for..

To TRY to catch US, each and everyone if they can,

In this seemingly day and age of not caring for NO one..:(

Even if one has "made" it or not..

Take care,
