People who have never lived it will laugh when we say "Poverty is traumatic".
I remember coming home to all of our stuff in the rain, living in homeless shelters, eating at soup kitchens, and all of the moments that we don't share when it's over.
It's a fear you can't fathom.

Ask anyone who managed to escape it. They'll tell you. No matter what, there is an underlying fear that it will all get taken away.
It prevents you from enjoying it fully.
Encountering it again? You could never understand the effect.
I know. I'm there.

It takes a toll on you mentally & physically. During it, after it, coming close to it...all of it wears on you.
Poverty is traumatic.
And more people are facing it now than we've had to imagine in past years.
Be kind to folks.
You don't know the burden they carry.

Help those you can. Be supportive when you can't.
Most importantly, be compassionate.
"Broke" was an insult in 2019.
In 2020, it could be the straw that breaks the person's back.
Love your folks.
Love yall.
