To the Mom Using Food Stamps : I See You
To the mom using food stamps, I see you.
I see the fear in your eyes when someone gets in line behind you. You wonder if they’re judging your food choices, not knowing that the cupcakes you’re buying are for your son’s birthday. Last year your family had to buy his cake because you couldn’t afford it, you never want that hollow feeling in the pit of your stomach again. You felt like such a failure.
I see the worry on your face as your total goes higher than what you have available. Your husband started a new job this week and now has to bring his own lunches. You wonder how you’ll make it work even with the cheapest sandwich ingredients. You hope he doesn’t get bored of cheap bologna and processed American cheese.
