Bless.

For readers/admirers of the novel Angela's Ashes, you might recall the part in the story where the McCourts received a pig's head from the Saint Vincent de Paul Society; the cheeks served as their Christmas meal. A moment that captured both shame and resilience as a mother endured to feed her children. As we enter the holiday season, disruptions to SNAP benefits carries similar weight. A truly admirable civilization is measured by how it supports its most vulnerable members.

Bless.
