How can anyone expect children to pay attention and learn if they are hungry? It makes me so angry. Any one who begrudges food for a child is despicable.
I agree. This makes me cry. 16 cents.
The $800,000 in projects Colbert is funding could have been funded by an extra 16 cents in taxes per South Carolina resident. Why is that too much to ask?
Kudos to your granddaughters school as well.
Two, sweet teachers in my family, young ones. Love them both. One a few years ago took her students to an Obama speech. I can't remember what grade, pretty young, they were to short to see much, she told them to hold up their ipads, that the school provides so that they could watch.
My now, 88 year old mom has worked the food pantry for years, small town. She only recently stopped due to illness. The market in town collects food for them, and they themselves are very, very generous in their donations.
Love you.
