Apparently even in the schools.
Was surprised recently to find out that there was a request for donations on top of regular school fees. I know that the people in schools work really hard with fundraisers, etc., to get "extra" money, but I don't recall ever having a straight-out request for donations sent home. Granted, at this point the "extra" money being requested was not a requirement, but a bit disheartening all the same.
And money needed for any other use doesn't go into food storage/emergency preparation supplies...
On a related subject, there is a collection going on to gather supplies for children who may not have been able to acquire everything they need for school. Since I knew about this beforehand, I was able to get some extra "generally-needed-in-just-about-every-class" supplies for said collection at the really cheap back-to-school sales. Now to get the stuff to one of the announced collection sites before the collection ends this week. Things can be tough all over, but when we help where we can, things can be a little easier...

It seems it's the children that have to suffer through this type of thing the most!
Just breaks your heart!
HermitJim--I agree that it's pretty unfortunate that children have to have negative consequences when they have no control over the circumstances--thanks for your comment!
It is pretty sad huh?
