I've stated repeatedly that I can and do shop second hand for myself and my own children now.


I recoil in horror at foster children being told they are NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR NEW CLOTHES AT THE HANDS OF THEIR NEW "PARENTS". Wtf kind of message is that?

It's not the "hot label" when you're shopping at Walmart or Target which is where vouchers are usually for. It's having a wide range of sizes and styles and clothing items with which to outfit a child with everything they need in one gd visit.

Socks shoes underwear - you try finding good "used" items for children in those departments at the 2nd hand store that fit.

Have a child that's hard to fit? Good luck.

Have three children at one gd time you need to outfit? good freaking luck with that.

The stigma of being a foster child is bad enough. The trauma of being ripped from your home is horrific enough. Now you want to tell them they aren't good enough to have a new gd pair of shoes to go to school in?

Some liberal you are.
