Definitely sad he had to do all that but inspiring that he is willing to do all this for his family. tears for sure.
Yup. Plenty of those "inspiring" stories are actually really sad, kids shouldn't be doing this
The problem with this kind of take is that it feels like you are saying kids who don't work their asses to buy their poor parents a car are bad.
43 million Americans live in poverty. The majority of the country lives paycheck to paycheck. The problems with our country and the way wealth is distributed go a lot deeper than this one woman. There's no reason for you to assume it's her fault she's in this situation.
It's extremely sad, but the kid still did an amazing thing for his family, even if it is awful and he never should have had to in the first place.
This just proves the point of Republicans. No more excuses. You got children? Put em to work.
Oh definitely, not saying the kid did something wrong. It's good that he did it, but it's awful that he ever felt like he had to.
The post already links to Major Nelson asking for contact info and sending a package. But they didn't try to advertise it.
Not really understanding at all how you could have taken that from what the poster said. They were just saying that the circumstances are unfortunate, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he's a hell of a kid, doesn't mean folks who don't do the same are bad; there are middle tiers.
