When Will was a kid, dinner was often skipped. Not because he wasn't hungry, but because there was nothing to eat. "We’d sleep for dinner. That was our way of coping." After his mum left, Will’s family spiralled into poverty. Hunger set in. Shame settled deep. Help felt out of reach, especially from churches. But one day, kindness arrived quietly. Fresh bread on the doorstep. No sermons. No strings. Just someone showing up. "For the first time, I felt a sense of relief. Our cupboards could be full. Our hunger didn’t have to define us." This Anti-Poverty Week, Will’s story reminds us that poverty doesn’t always look how you expect. And that small acts of compassion can help someone breathe again. Sometimes, it’s not about grand solutions, it’s about showing up with bread, without judgment. #Salvos #TheSalvationArmy #AntiPovertyWeek (fb)
