I wish, however, we were like most any other democracy and had universal health care and better laws protecting workers. Most bankruptcies (70%) in the US stem from catastrophic health care costs from sudden illness. The remaining are largely from sudden job loss.
We shouldn’t have a country that allows so many children to go hungry just because parents get sick or lose a job.
To Sam’s point, a nice thing about CHUM is that, in addition to having a shelter and food shelf, they do advocacy work…so they’re trying to change the system and not just cope with it.
Great video! Chum does such great things for Duluthians.
CHUM is great.
