You certainly see a different side of humanity when delivering food/financial assistance to those in need. One person today has two teenage kids & another who's 7 and has a partner in jail for domestic violence. She takes 40 tablets daily, costing $400 per week, walks with a cane & needs a spinal stimulator worth $80,000 to help control the pain. Recently had cortisone injections in both shoulders & may need a shoulder reconstruction. The car had to be modified to suit her best-working limbs & she had to resit her driver's licence. The public health system isn't sufficient for her needs so private insurance is needed.
Her sole income is disability & parenting pensions.
The only reason she & her kids are living where they are is because her mother owns the house and there's no rent to pay.
And that's just one of the cases we helped today.
