Oh my. From a single mama to another can we set up a food train too? Laundry assistance? Three small ones is a lot of laundry and snacks. Please let me know what we can organize for those with limited dollars but want to help in the ways we know pile up FAST. Is there something set up for her partner too? This is so terrible. Coming to the rescue to be hurt by a ninny that flees.

Good people help those in need if they can afford to. Good for you Camillia! I say once money for your own needs is done it’s supposed to be spent on other people. Where can I send my thirty dollars?
