Help for not enough food in Japan
From people who came through it
“If you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was cheap pasta every night. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.”
Couo · been through not enough food“I know it feels like you're the only one. I was a bank manager, for heaven's sake, and I still had to use the food bank. The shame is the worst part, but it's not yours to carry. Start small: open one letter, ask about a payment plan, find out where the food bank is. No one there will judge you. And if you have kids, they won't remember the tough weeks as much as they'll remember you were there. It does get better, slowly.”
Night shift nurse in Swansea · been through not enough food“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy so the first few months were the worst of my life, but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. The council were useless until I put everything in writing. Go slowly.”
hetal.night · been through not enough food“If you're where I was, with the pasta and the payday loans and the shame, I want you to know it can get better. I'm not going to tell you it's easy. It's not. But the food bank is there and it's not charity, it's just help, and you're allowed to take it. Ask for the help. Tell one person. That's what I did and it didn't fix everything but it made it less heavy. And don't do what I did with the loans. Talk to someone first.”
