We were out much of the day on errands and helping friends. Sharon’s computer tablet arrived early today, and I’ll bring it to her tomorrow. I have a meeting at the Mansion tomorrow; there is a request for the residents to paint and wear T-shirts during the July Fourth Festival. They need help getting the T-shirts. We’re going to talk about it.
The economy has changed in the past few years, and affordable things are now expensive. The money at hand has shrunk, quite understandably. I want to ensure I can help the people in greatest need.
So I’ve asked for a meeting at the Mansion to see how we can affordably make the T-shirt request without spending a lot of money and leaving someone in serious trouble without help. Walmart comes to mind. That’s where I went last year.
But more and more, I have to make choices. I’m up to that.
The Army of Good is doing everything it can ask for. I have no complaints, and I won’t ask for money beyond emergency clothing, etc., or a crisis like Sharon’s and the excellent work for the Cambridge Food Pantry.
I and hundreds of excellent and hungry people are grateful for that.
The world changes, and I will change with it, not pretend it’s all the same. The Army of Good has been steadfast, always there when needed. I am nothing but grateful for their support.
