This is a sad one. Someone I’ve been shopping for each week now has no money for food. I spent some time tracking down who to call in the council, learning about food bank and other emergency support as well as telephone mental health support - it’s wrong that there is such desperation in our society. I’ve given her a weekly shop that I’ve paid for but she won’t let me give her another, so I gave her some groceries from my cupboards. Nothing funny or punny about this one, just daily phone calls so she knows she’s not on her own.
