NOT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT FOOD STAMPS & RAMEN NOODLES. AND SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT WALKING TO THE LAUNDROMAT WITH BIG BAGS OF CLOTHES, BOILING WATER ON THE STOVE FOR BATHS, AND LIGHTING CANDLES IN THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE POWER WENT OFF & NOT BECAUSE IT WAS STORMING.
SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT HAND-ME-DOWNS, SECOND-HAND CLOTHES, OR SLEEPING ON THE COUCH OR THE FLOOR. SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT GETTING GROCERIES AT A FOOD PANTRY OR WAITING IN A LUNCH LINE FOR A MEAL, OR TURNING THE OVEN ON TO HEAT THE HOUSE. SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT HAND WASHING CLOTHES IN THE TUB OR IN THE SINK AND DRYING THEM ON A CLOTHESLINE.
SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT SHOWERING AT SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE. IF YOU HAVEN'T STRUGGLED, I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.
Another takeaway.

KC Tenants Leader Maya:
"The neighborhoods by the Truman Sports complex have been robbed for decades... if a stadium is so good for this city, why aren't the neighborhoods surrounding them the most prosperous in this city?"
It's Social Worker Appreciation Month, so we want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to our clinicians and the social workers who help guide our students, families & staff. You are amazing, and a thousand thank yous wouldn't be enough.
