Don't ever wish to know how it feels to go hungry for days

One evening sited on the balcony, lost in thoughts. Everything falling apart, my contract just ended. Then bills pile up. Poor me lost in thoughts. Don't ever wish to know how it feels to go hungry for days and have no one to help. Ever experienced a lack in this way? share your experience.

With God's grace I didn't have to experience such moments as going without food for days.

@aninditasen Sometimes we don't know what we have until it is no more. And how sometimes people feel they don't have enough. With me as long as you can put a meal on the table, have a place to lay your head and a few clothes that's enough.

It must be awful to be unable to afford food to feed yourself and your family. There seems to be a lot of people in the UK who are now having to use food banks where kind people donate food for others. This is because of the cost-of-living crisis due to rising prices.

Is this a global crisis? Cheers to the donors for being kind to those in need.

@Inplay123 I have not experienced that and I truly hope I will be alright to never be in that sort of situation but my heart aches for those who are in this position. I wish you nothing but the absolute best! I hope things will work out the way you want them too and you'll just be alright!

I have been fortunate to not have to experience it and cannot even imagine it. Nor do I want to.

@Inplay123 Noted. I also believe many people create their own hell and then blame others for it. I suspect in Kenya that is not the case. It's hell over there. lol
