This time last year I had my own apartment and my pantry and fridge was full. 3 months later it was the total opposite. Those ladies who got assistance are very very lucky. There are a lot of us who got absolutely no help at all, me included. I basically lost the roof over my head. Couldn't even sell my furnishings as no one was buying. But I am Grateful for what I have and to still be Standing and to still have the opportunity to earn. Those who have proper work do not realise how fortunate they are. There are a few people here who actually enjoyed and wanted some of us ladies to suffer.
Your story breaks my heart and it makes me realize how much i have been blessed,but i was to blind to see and appreciate it.myself from the first day of lockdown,i was covered.had a regular client paying for my rent and had other regulars just sending me money which covered me for 2 months,and had Mr Potential who has been sending me money.but instead of me to appreciate him,but i was nust because i always let my fears take control of me,but untill 3 months back when he stopped sending me,damnt its been had and which i think his doing it on purpose.And i am so grateful for him to do so,because now i know who are my real friends and family are..so many people walked away when i started telling them i was broke whenever they called to borrowed money,one of my cousin her and i used to be besties but since i told her i cant afford her visit to my place.she went quiet until today
As they say..when days are dark friends are few,i am so thankful to my real friends,regulars and my family that are still with me..infact this other cousin we where never closed at all,i hated her just because of her mom:)but i tell you she is the one who is actually helping me out these days,she happened to call me when i was going through one of those darkest days.she told me she missed me,and she wonders if i am really fine.later i had 2k in my account from her,it was one crazy day..but the ones whom i use to help where nowhere to be found until today:(but i am so happy that now i know who is with me and who is not
But my hardest day last year this time was when my favourite niece fall inside the poor,it was this day.i remember getting a call that put me to cold moments..i lost my voice,i didn't know what to do..so grateful she is alive and there is a lot of progress shame
