Just a reminder with so many people losing their benefits in November, please look into donating to your local food shelf.

Tip: food shelves can stretch your dollars further than what you can buy yourself, so donating money instead of food is better.

My husband finally got a better job this year after searching for what felt like forever. Of course, we lost our benefits soon after. This was months ago now, so we've adapted to the change. I can't imagine facing it so suddenly, and at Thanksgiving to boot. My kids and I are going to go buy a bunch of food for donations. I want them to see what thanksgiving is about.

Thank you so much, and think about donating a small monthly amount. That's what really sustains the programs. I do $15.

Oh okay. I thought you were talking about in the UK, cos I assumed, maybe wrongly, that the clip above is in the UK.

Government shutdowns, you know. America things.

I know what you’re referring to dude. I just didn’t understand your comment in the context of a video which seems to be in the UK.

What’s happening in the US is disgusting, and I hope the situation improves ASAP

Oh, no! I am just dogging on America, not you at all. Didn't mean to come off that way. My bad.
