we got WIC... they brought milk, Kix cereal, eggs and cheese.
We used to wait on the corner in the snow in akron, OH... waiting for uncle to drive by after work so he could take us someplace. we had AMHA housing... made our way from the crack neighborhood to trailer park in south florida.
mac n chz, and tuna patties 4 nights a week, bologna the other 3 nights. meals on wheels for summer.
these days, being middle class feels like millionaire status
4 BR house with double den > double wide trailer with palmetto bugs falling thru holes in roof.
Can't stop smiling, looking back at those days.
