Reply to comment by Mom2LLC in Warming centers list-Stay safe out there. by notnotpegbundy

It’s disappointing but unfortunately it’s a “better than nothing” approach that we are left with. I wish I had the means to open my home, but I don’t, that’s just the reality. Hopefully by posting this it, or the other comments left by others, can help someone now or in the future.

For those of us who can’t to open our homes, we can try to share resources.

Opening private homes isn’t the answer, anyway, despite what randos on the Internet would have you believe. Having large spaces for congregate care provided by people who know what they’re doing is important. Individuals can help best by donating what the shelters need, be that food, clothing, money, time, etc.

Do you literally get on here to go against everything anyone posts? Every post you make is about what someone shouldn’t do. How about you just be thankful there are people who care even a little bit and even have that thought. You can educate without being condescending, which is how you literally always come across.

Wow. Nice ad hominem attack. As it so happens I’ve worked in homelessness outreach for many years. I know a bit about what works and what doesn’t and I try to share that and point people in the right direction. If you don’t like it, feel free to scroll on by. But attacking someone from a position of anonymity is shitty. Also, really? You created an account just to attack me personally? You have problems.

At least I’m trying to spread the word, I guess.

Yes!! That’s extremely important. Thank you for doing it!! I’m so sorry if I made you feel like that wasn’t enough.

Sorry, that was not meant to come across as asking for validity, but totally did. I just meant I wish I could do more.

ETA: the word not

I think most of us wish that. But we do what we can and it adds up. It all matters.

Well considering the below user deleted their account, I thought I’d address one thing they stated, I didn’t create this account just to personally attack you, person. If you look at the create date, you’d notice it was way before this post, so you don’t matter that much, darling. I genuinely hope you got comfort in thinking you did. Some warm fuzzies.

If that's Progress Mom, they didn't delete their account, they blocked you, like they do anybody who disagrees with them.
