“I saw it on the news and decided to come up here because I really need the help,” Kamara said. “You’ve got to stand in line, because it’s not going to come to you.”
I'm speechless.
Well you know it is hard work to stand in line for free heat, food, clothes, diapers and stuff.
Oh those crazy Amish, it would be so much more fair if it was delivered to the doorstep.

The divide between people who think like this and those of us expected to feed, clothe, and shelter them draws wider each day, while the funds required to feed, clothe, and shelter them are about tapped out. Somebody who thinks like that should no have the right to vote; I’m sure most if not all are already “tax-exempt”.
This...is LBJ’s Great Society.
Diaper assistance?? My granny had triplets. She used to tell me about all the assistance she got with the diapers: her sisters came over and helped wash them by hand.
I liked the part about Eady. I think Eady should be encouraged in her efforts to provide a non-government solution to a problem shared by many poor working mothers who may not qualify for entitlement programs. It must be pretty scary to face having your heat shut off when you have infant triplets at home. Cloth diapers are not always a solution, especially if you have to leave your children in daycare while you work or if you taxi to a laudrymat. I’d suggest she approach her pastor with her immediate need (or approach any church if she doesn’t belong to a specific one) as many churches have the ability to seek specific donations from their members with an almost immediate response. Since Eady identifies as a ‘health care worker’, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume she’s not had life handed to her, but even with three babes at hand and unsteady employment, it appears she has an untapped drive to succeed and a plan to meet a real need. I hope a mentor steps forward. Good luck to her.
