Kristin! I hear you. There are so contributing factors that make it challenging for people to meet basic bills — especially if they want to get a higher education. I have a ridiculous amount of debt from grad school that makes me HOWL.

What makes me so angry is the way people treat others who’ve had it tough but are trying to climb out. We’re good people with good intentions who want a safe, clean place to live. It blows my mind how cruel, dismissive, and judgmental others can be.

I think you’re AWESOME for getting your life on track. BRAVA.
