12. I thank you for remembering those of us who are alone and in desperate straights!
That means a lot.. we are ignored and bypassed.

However... it really hurts to be told that I have't "looked for it", especially by people who don't know me.

It also hurts, as a homeless person, to be told to "volunteer at a soup kitchen". And I will also say, as a woman... We women give and give and give... it's what we are taught to do. Yet, it never seems to be enough, and rather than be acknowledgeed, in our pain we are told to give even more.

I think this needs some thought, because there is PAIN in this.

Sometimes we all need to

RECEIVE
