So I'm in Michigan, I dont have a child in the school system, I understand why they shut the schools down for 3 weeks. But all I can think about are the kids who looked forward to school because that's where they got 2 meals. What's going to happen now that they won't have access to it. I'm not degrading their parents because I know how hard it is to work and still not have enough.. but I just feel for all the families that have to find a way to feed their kids, pay bills, and now pay/find child care.
I do have a child who’s school is now closed for 3 weeks. I want to cry, I don’t know what we’re going to do.
And there are very much kids who will be going hungry because of this, you are absolutely right 😔
When my daughters dad was alive and I had my stepson, we barely made ends meet some times we didnt I'd go hungry sometimes just so he'd have food. And now all I can think about is these times and what other families in this situation now are going through. I'm trying hold myself together because I want to cry for you and for them. I'm so sorry this is happening
I was just thinking this smh I remember as a kid I relied on those meals 😭
