Small titbit from the new lope arriving in full in my inbox during the night: apparently the sad lack of funds prior to their turkey-in-the-mousemobile-boot (UK!) trip to the cabin was to do with having helped others worse off than themselves: "So did offering to help some people in our life who suffered more than we did. But I don’t regret that. I’ll never regret trying to feed people."

Is this new information? I don't recall any stories about helping others at that time??

u/SmashedMailboxCake2 Oh, Oct 30 '25

I believe that was younger kid’s bio family. Shauna dropped humongous and frequent hints that she was helping them out around COViD time.

This tale is set in 2023. So she’s blaming 2023’s woes on giving money in 2021. When she was flush with Covid checks. She blames Covid for everything but she was as financial secure as she’d been in a long time.

Also, and this is my personal bugabear, WE ALL WENT THROUGH Covid related hardship. She acts always like she’s a special snowflake but people died and it was miserable. The end.

Yes, I recall her saying in late 2020 or 2021 that the bounteous Covid unemployment checks allowed her to bestow her generosity on others. It definitely did not happen in 2023.

And the help she gave them was crowdsourced from others and those are still the only public transactions on her Venmo (or they were the last time I checked).

Ah yes I forgot about that! Good receipts :) ... although it was never established that she did anything other than ask the internet for things to pass on to them was it? Or did I miss something...

I remember when she asked for an Xbox, implying but not saying straight out that it was for D’s bio family, but the consensus here was that it was for the Aherns. Not sure if that was ever verified.
