[quote=Anonymous]I think food stamps (or snap) is now provided with a debit card, so hopefully this diminishes some of the shame for people (kids and adults). Thank you all, this is incredibly generous of you to share your stories. Hopefully someone may be faced with an opportunity to reach out to a help a child and having this context may make a difference. My parents grew up working poor, to my knowledge never am issue of not enough to eat. I think I was rather oblivious to it as a child, as in I lived in a very well off community in California and would spend a good chunk of my summers with my grandparents who were wonderful but working poor (they immigrated to the US from Canada because my grandmother wanted my grandfather to do something other than coal mining). My mother was so happy to buy her parents a home in their later years. Education changed my parents' lives. It makes me sad that that ladder is getting harder and harder to climb. [/quote]
