7. Well it is going to impact my son
Mon Jan 3, 2022, 05:32 PM

He's a single dad with 3 kids, 6, 9 & 12 and has 2 jobs. The 9 yr old is very low on the autistic scale. He is just learning to talk. I help him all that I can by making certain the kids have shoes and clothes. He is losing his roommate at the end of the month so it is going to be even tighter in February. Those checks helped him stay current with his rent when his roommate was out of work during the lockdowns.

Don't think you'll see too many upset? No there will just be more kids food insecure, wearing coats that don't keep them warm, wearing shoes too tight for their growing feet but they wont be upset because there aren't too many kids.
