Sadly, I've been in those shoes (the ones of my character), although not in those exact dire straits or needs exactly...I've been on the dole and remember how people look at you and the contempt in their faces when you use food stamps to buy food for your children...and it stays with you...
There is so much ugliness in the world today...thank you for recognizing it and realizing that there can be beauty in it as well...
