Colo-Rick Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 The kids may look dirty, but their clothes are clean and look new. They look well fed, especially after months of COVID difficulties ???? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they ran out of food yesterday and that will be their last meal. I just don't get people. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy is literally wearing ripped up pants. Don't worry, as they start to look more like holocaust victims, I'm sure we will get more photo images of them in the future. Maybe then people will see how desperate many people truly are in this area due to poverty and the lockdowns. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Sorry, I first saw the pictures on my small smart phone, now seeing them up closer on a real computer screen, I realize that the kids do look slightly grimy, typical of their age though. But everything else I said I stand by. They are obviously in need and still deserve our sympathy and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t do it instead of donating to the cause but in addition to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susy Wilson Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Some representatives of the foodbank were at the organic market on Tuesday accepting donations and we donated, grateful for their wonderful work. We have adopted a few different families here.....or maybe I should say they adopted us because they sure are wonderful to us.....and we help them with food, cash when necessary and we pay for one families oldest daughters accounting school classes and books. We are not wealthy and basically live off of our SSI and a small pension but compared to the average Mexican person here we are very well off. Those of us on fixed incomes here have not been seriously affected financially with the hardships of Covid-19 but in the states prices on nearly everything have gone up substantially as I witnessed spending 4 1/2 months in Oregon recently. This is a very good opportunity to help our Mexican neighbors if we can and they sure could use it now💓 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
