I so wish that there was actual help for these people 💔 Not these places charging an arm a leg and a second mortgage just for them to be put in a place and looked down on because of the condition they are in but literally a place with caring people that are willing to spend one on one time with these individuals. Also, not sticking them in groups to tell others about their problems because one’s problems are not going to be like the others. I genuinely hate seeing so many, not just younger but older alike struggling so hard 😞

You should open up your home and help these people out! I’m sure that would open up the hearts of others to do the same! Happy Sunday and God bless! My sincere condolences to the family of the deceased!
