I agree. I’m doing that myself.

Hi Miss Tracy:
Been there (still there)!
I've learned to check resources at my disposal i.e., food pantries often have items that are just given away. Once I put pride on the back burner I was able to learn of other resources at my disposal. The public library was a other great resource for learning about getting the help I needed. Also try local churches. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you in your journey!
