You can bet your bottom dollar that she did the right thing! I am so proud of her! Thanks to Life magazine Daily for posting this video! I've known more than one woman in my eighty years on this earth that opened their home to other precious children that had either been orphaned or whose parents were unable to take care of them. These women, and their husbands also, deserve medals, because of their love of children or that they are willing to take on more than their share simply out of their love for children and their fellow man. May God richly bless them & their families and the little ones to whom they've opened their hearts and homes!
My mother took in foster kids and ended up adopting one of them. My sister took after our mom and started taking in foster kids. Now she has 3 kids by birth and she and her husband have adopted 11 of those foster kids - most are high risk. One young man that they weren't able to adopt still keeps in touch. He is So. Korean and he, his wife, and their baby keep in touch. Fostering is a calling. Believe me, they didn't do it for the money. They are very soft-hearted and I'm very proud of her.
Lexi Shot ; this is sad,... it’s people with our mindset that need to stay strong to our hearts. I have no idea why so many humans feel the need to not just judge but attack another person for something they know nothing about;..... I just really hope it changes!!!
You did the right thing. Thanks for sticking up for the new mother of 3 and thank you for opening your heart for kids other than your own. All children need help and especially love.
When I read this I began to weep. Foster parents are truly Angels, its a tough job. Unfortunately, it's all too easy to mock and critiscize, especially when poeple haven't experienced true hardship. God bless you Lyndsey for your courage and love, and ,God bless our wonderful, loving, unselfish foster parents everywhere. Alan, UK.🇬🇧🇺🇸
There's nothing more disgusting than people who think they know everything, when they really know nothing. Good for the lady who helped the foster mom. If everyone would think about what or how they could be of help just one time during each day, this world would be such different place. All you foster parents out there are doing God's work. Thank you!!!!
Absolutely! Rude people need to be made aware of the fact that judging others without all the facts makes them look stupid. Lindsey showed this new mom compassion and understanding and encouragement. She did not have months to prepare for these little ones. Their loss was fresh and scary. Everyone within earshot of this scene, were given a lesson in kindness. These little ones were blessed to be placed in a loving home.
Absolutely, 100% thumbs up. My wife passed away a couple of years ago, but, over the years, we fostered 101 kids, adopting 4, (she already had 4 biological). Most people don't realize (or care) how many kids there are like this in our society. Then we wonder why a disturbed teen does terrible unthinkable things. If everyone would do just 1 kind thing for someone less fortunate, our country might have a chance of coming out of its path of self destruction
Now that’s God’s love & compassion at work. She probably gave that mother a life changing moment & the strength she needed to forge on,an that’s a beautiful thing❤️
Bravo to her, she didn't even think, she just stood up for her fellow woman. That's what we should all do, if you see wrong/injustice, speak up. Some people need to be checked and put back in their own lane. NOBODY is better than anyone else, we all put our britches on the same way, one leg at a time. Never judge a book by it's cover, you have no idea what is going on and the current circumstances of strangers. That couple should be ashamed of themselves and I hope they are so that maybe they can be an example and stop this crap from happening to someone else.
April Dannette Another thing I thought of why the couple were so insulting and scathing could be that they cant have children and these people can.get critical of peoples parenting styles because they have this assumption that if they had/have kids that it woukd be more special more loved. behave better because their little Prince or Princess will be perfect and want for nothing. Seen it.
Agreed. This was evil, cruel and jealous behaviour by arrogant devils with no empathy or sympathy. Those souls are lost forever. They are beyond saving.
True or false, this is a wonderful way to respond to someone with such a negative attitude towards someone else trying to make ends meet. It is a scenario that generally occurs in real life and the ending is not farfetched. A similar thing happened to my Sunday school teacher at a Wall-Mart checkout before, and his response to the situation was similar in some respects. I don't know about other areas, but something similar happened in the American South. Whether you believe me or the video or not, there is still a lot of wisdom to be gained from this video. =) P.S. Not everyone thinks to start recording every time something amazing may happen. Having some kind of proof of the act is typically the last thing on someone's mind when they're busy helping someone else.
It takes a lot of guts in this world to stand up for somebody in line who is getting slammed with all sorts of insults and snickering I have nothing but High Praise for the woman who stuck up for that lady and her kids if anybody receives that one tell her thank you on behalf of a good percentage of us here in the United States
Herbert Orendorff ; agree 100% This Australian stands with you. We have a lot of judgemental people in Aus too, much like the snickering couple;... it’s just heartbreaking. It takes guts, both Lindsay and this new foster mama both have guts;... unconditional love makes a person strong. Peace be with you!!!
It does take guts,and I would have done the same thing,because hatefulness is something that needs to be faced head on,and I no longer care what anyone thinks of me...I think people who are foster parents are awesome people because they open their homes to children that need safe,stable places to live...we need more kind people like that in this world :)
Geraldine Witcher.i was once on foodstamps they help ive worked all my life and have paid welfare taxes.to tjose who look down their noses at others .remember thid God has a sense of humor and that could be you one day .stop to help have a kind word .after all we are all human
Sunshine Hornick I completely agree with everything you just said. IDC what someone's says about me, the minute they say something about my friends or family, they better watch their backs. I will show no mercy to people who think it's okay to look down on others just because they arre different. I have news for them: Everyone is different in their own way. So I'd tell them to shut up and leave that person alone because they have no right to say that to another human being with emotions and a personality.
Ugh this made me so emotional both with Anger at the couple and happiness that the woman stood up for whats right and that the other woman saved those babies i welled up
This story touches me deeply. I also spent some of my early years in foster homes, and have experienced being prejudged. Just a little kindness goes sooooo far. Not all foster homes are child centered and loving though.Wishing this new Foster mom lots of wisdom and courage as she seeks to do her best for her foster children. Well done to the lady who gave a little lesson on compassion to the couple passing judgment about them, without shaming them.
Not only do I think Lindsey did the right thing, I commend her for being so polite about it. I fortunately live in a small town and a close community, it's rare that I have to deal with people like this. However, when I do encounter such rude and thoughtless people, I can't help but tell them I what think of them.
I've watched this video on another channel here on TH-cam! It upset me how the couple were ignorant to her! I'm grateful to Lindsay for putting the rude couple straight!
berto stevens Let's say that this *is* a fake story. Crap like this absolutely happens in real life. People have no problem remembering to use a filter on their pictures, but they darned sure forget to use one on their mouth.
Its very rare. And when you accept fake as real, you are subject to manipulation. When you substitute your feelings for truth you are unable to live in reality. The degradation of society is proportional to the degradation of critical thinking. Your comment is a complete absence of critical thinking, and therefore a much greater determent to society than rude comments made in public.
I too was a foster mom. Did this for many years and was blessed to have 78 beautiful children in my care. 4 at a time. I remember the looks when we went to town with our own children and our new family additions. Thank you so much for posting this story.
There are some spiteful, cruel people out there but mostly kind, caring, loving and supportive people/parents who struggle with the burdens in their lives. Thank you for that message of kindness. It should give us all hope.
Well done Lindsey..we need more people like her..especially now in day in age where if you are a hard working person but if you take any help..even though YOU ARE TAX PAYER TOO..horrible people call you takers or something..when they have absolutely no clue
I applaud her for standing up to those bullies. It seems no one understands why kids are bullies, when adults offer them bullying lessons on a regular basis!
lemonlost coll We like to think so. There are too many self righteous idiots around who delight in putting people down to make themselves feel superior!!
Ieró̱ny mos Who was showing pity for who? Lindsay related to the woman who was wrongfully being judged,and ridiculed. That is called empathy, as human beings we should all be capable of having empathy, and compassion for others.
lemonhead ( lemonlost if you know what show is lemonhead from you get major respoct from me hahah) karma catchesup is bs it never does mate . 27 years f loving and where is this karma yu speak of were is my break. real world ppl eat or be eaten
ante ante karma always caches up BIG TIME bud, a good example of that the bad lifestyle that criminals lead they keep doing evil thinking they will never be punished well guess what 98% of the time they get what??? caught. Most of the time the people are just not aware of whats happening in there lives when things go wrong bud. You are WRONG
God bless you all.. .first the children....for they never asked to be born....the woman who cared enough to open her home and heart to three children....and lastly to the storyteller ....you all have many treasures in heaven...it takes compassion in this world today....so that being the case ....I also pray for the two people who spoke before thinking....it's not the suit that makes the man or woman is it....I pray they have a turn of heart and see what we see..... thank you... mother of 5 sons... they are my gold.
High praise to both of these women. God bless them and all of the children. I can’t stomach people who think having money makes them better than those that are barely scraping by. My husband hates shopping with me, because I am always, as he says, sticking my nose in other peoples business. But, I cannot just look the other way, when there is a wrong being committed. I am 64 and I remember more than a few times when if I would only have just been acknowledged as a human being in a bad situation would have made things a little bit better. Sometimes just a smile or a kind word can turn someone’s day the other way. I grew up seeing my mother used as a punching bag. I tried to protect her when I was 8, and ended up with a broken nose. I have never been able to look the other way when I observed a situation where I knew or suspected a child or a woman was being abused.
Oh my that couple surely needed that woman that helped the mother give them that much needed reprimanding and didn't deserve her holding back her as she did ! God bless her for helping as so many people are judgmental when the see mixed racial children with a family !! There are more reasons to stop & think for couples work at Children's Homes as Houseparents & others are Fostering kids who need a loving family & some are adopted & some of course are from different fathers & that one mother ! But thank God they weren't aborted or left on the streets but some precious mom or couple are taking care of them !! So instead of judging them , say a prayer for them & give them a 👍😍🤗 to make their day !!
The world needs a lots of Lindsays out there some people don't know what is like to be abused or been hungry the don't know if the father's or moms lost there jobs who is those kind of people how can they be so rude it could be them next we plan life but what life brings to us we don't know so no one should judge any one go Lindsay thank you for standing up
+Bush Wookie i do agree whith you i have expressed out so many times women need to stop sleeping around and believe that they can do so much better in there life than just having babies
Lindsay, I just wanted to thank you for your caring, loving and inclusive attitude toward that bold and brave woman with all of the kids. People anymore just snicker and laugh almost right in your face. They just make assumptions that are better kept to themselves. The ignorance shown by that couple is awful and seemingly getting worse in our society. I'm sure that woman you he!ped will never forget you. God bless both of you. You rose above and took the high road, and you are very appreciated. We need more people like you, for sure!
I'm a mother of one and I felt this. Crying. So touching. Need people like those ladies. The one that opened up her home to those children/ her children and the one that spoke up.. Xoxox
Was raised in the system for 8yrs. The foster parent seriously go thru alot jus as those kids do. Im thankful i was with my foster parents they were more of a parent 2me thn my own. So watch wht u say bout those ppl. Just thnk ur kids could b in foster care..praise these foster parents 4wht they do..
Those "people" are upset at millions of other "people" that have eight kids and no job, the "men" that brag about having 10 or 12 kids and the "women" who have a herd of children because they are apparently promiscuous and won't insist on birth control. Sex is like a hockey game and the woman is the goalie keeping herself from getting pregnant. Of course the man should share responsibility for birth control, but it is ultimately up to the woman whether she gets pregnant or not. It's her body, after all.
Grumpy Hermit oh, well that’s enough to give them the right to be complete jerks toward someone who doesn’t fit any of those stereotypes. Thanks for filling in the missing info on those “people”.
Very well done. We are raising our grandkids and they are happy and we are loving every minute. Many people have told us they wouldn't do it but they are missing out on watching the kids grow up. Nothing more rewarding.
thank God for people that can speak up to those that bully and think they're so righteous... I don't think they would ever understand what it is to be starving and what it is to have without and what it is to have parents that love them... This woman was courageous to speak up 4 Justice and God will have a special place in his heart for her thank you
thumbs up!!!!! all children deserve love and stability and before some jerk starts judging others-maybe you outta walk a mile in their shoes first! !!!💕💕
I really can't stand these robotic voices but sometimes when I come across them I just soldier on through it in hopes that there is a sweet heartwarming ending & that's definitely the case with this video. I'm happy I sat through it. Both of the women in this tale are wonderful compassionate SELFLESS women. There should be MORE mothers, & people in general, like them in this world! People are so quick to judge others anymore when they haven't a clue the entirety of what someone else could be going through. Who are we to judge others??? We need more compassionate loving human beings in the world, not only when our country/state or cities are in crisis but EVERYday.
Usually, the entire story is written in the description. I paused it and read it instead because I wanted to know the story. LOL. The voice drives me bonkers!
We need more people like Lindsay and the mom who fostered those children in need. I wish we had no creatures like that crass couple who mocked the struggling mom.
God Bless the new Foster mom and God Bless Lindsey for telling those rude people what they needed to hear. God Bless All The Foster Parents and Children 🙇♀️🙏
She was nicer to that couple then i would have been they deserved a real chewing mocking little children like that and that poor woman even if they had been her biological kids that was not warranted its cruel and sick its bullying not just to the mom but to the kids ooh some people make me sick Bravo to that woman 1 for stepping in and 2 for keeping her cool with that rude couple i can't say i would have kept my cool or been that mature with my response
April, I agree! I don't think I would've been nearly as polite to them myself. Once the little ones were out if earshot I would've had some pretty rude comments to give them right back!
April Dannette - me neither! And I would have turned around to them while the foster mother was still in earshot and told them to SHUT THE HELL UP!! Then once she and the little ones had left, I'd have given them the ear bashing of their superficial, narrow minded lives.
I’m not sure if I could have been that kind of woman to just say what she said to the couple. Hats off to Lindsay! Not enough people out there like her! Thank you for what you have done!!
Thank you to both of these moms. As someone who has to investigate situation of abuse and neglect, it is hard to have to remove any child from their home. We are so thankful to have great foster and adoptive parents who help us provide a safe place for them.
I have one more thing to say all the same people who mock single mothers with a bunch of kids i have heard them say things like why didn't she abort some these people only value themselves and their opinions makes me furious
+Gorden Wood , just like a racist person does bringing race into a conversation where race wasnt the topic , here you go bring religion into a conversation where it wasnt warranted. just like a religionist( my own word) starting to really bother me. im a Christian too, and i am not like that either, nor do i bring race or anything else into conversations that dont belong there. it is getting so old to attack people just for being one thing or another without all the facts. just like in this case!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not a violent person, I'm a strong believer in turning the other cheek. I'm too old to go off hitting people anyway.. But if someone told me I should have aborted one of my 3 children, I think I'd knock the living crap out of them.
All I can say, is that you are a true treasure, Linsday. You, that woman taking care of so many wonderful children, and EVERY single mother on WIC. Bless you all.
I don't care if she had had 29 biological just for example thats not possible idon't think kids by all different baby daddies nobody deserves that treatment not when the are obviously trying to care for them and not pawning them off on strangers this woman was doing the right thing ugh sorry rant over now
Yes she did it's a shame that people judge only by what they see and have no idea what the problem might be those children also need care just like everybody else hope someday they won't need care themselves someday thank God for good deascent people that will open their hearts and homes to these children
Sad how many people assume, judge, and get down right nasty, remember this, once you start being NASTY it gets easier and you get still NASTIER. I recall the words of a dear wise person, "When in doubt do the kind things." Try it on first, you might like yourself better and other folks too.
Thank you for this beautiful story . These souls exist. As do those like the ones who are quick to mock . As long as there is one soul with pure heart, the slums of humanity will be kept at bay.
It's a good feeling. I recently helped an elderly couple that was $2.45 short of their groceries...… no junk foods, all staple food products.Not much money I know, but to see their faces was so heartwarming, they were very nice people. Just a little love, a little bit of caring...… pass it on.
This happens to me all the time.. I adopted my 3 year old & 2 year old ( had them from birth ) my 3 year old is native & my 2 year old is Hispanic - it's horrible the looks I get, the hateful words & the judgment! I can't handle it,I honestly fear for them as they get older it's only going to get worse. They are my ENTIRE life & world. They have made us better so hearing people judge my baby's is heartbreaking - I finally started saying something back to people who do it..at first I tried to ignore it but it gets harder every time! You'll do anything for your children including confront the worst people!
Saved by Christ , sweetie I will be praying for your little miracles. Trust the Lord He will direct the paths for a wonderful life. Bless you for adopting ♡
Sometimes l feel like crying about the human condition. But then l think of the truly compassionate, caring , genuine people who are on this earth. And, l thank God for them.🙌🙌😇😇
She did the right thing ☺. My Parents told my Siblings & I when we were young that, no one is better then us & we aren't better then anyone else. My Parents are the Greatest & I am so thankful for the way they raised us. GOD BLESS ALL THOSE STRUGGLING PARENTS 👼👰
I would have done that in a much more loud rude way. I hope they learned there lesson and it was done and said better than I could have thought of it. Iv been a single mom and been divorced iv used state food and medical before it’s hard sometimes and the crude looks and comments can really tear a person down. I’m so grateful for those who do help I’m a mom of 4 I have a blended family and no one ever even offers to open a door or help me out with my groceries. Sometimes I wonder if people even see me as they knock into us. It was a hard transition from 3 to 4. Thank god for my 11 year old son who is a gentleman and opens doors and carries bags for me. Being a mom isn’t easy it’s so hard all on its own and strangers don’t need to make it even harder. Kids in the system deserve more they need love no unkind words loosing your parents is hard enough. Praise god for women like her
Amen.An Amazing And Precious Mom.God will bless her and the children.For even God said “Suffer Little Children to come unto me.” Sorry this couple had harden their hearts.We should never judge.
rosemary marsh I agree ,we don't know the background that couple came from,but if is similar to the woman with the kids then there is no excuse for their ignorance
Great job sticking up for the lady and kids. People can be so heartless when they only see how well they have it and think what they have will last. The people mocking her where ignorant and self righteous. The 2 Mother’s here are to be honored because they have given their lives to raise and pour into other little ones that can change this world. Hats off to all who help those who can’t help themselves.
This has me Tearing with pride for that woman (NO. FOR THOSE WOMEN). Thanks for posting those. And to all foster, adopting, aunt, cousin or sister that steps up the right for the right reasons I thank you for what you Are Doing Now, what you Will Be Doing Later, I even Thank you all for what you Have Already Done in the past for the benefit of all Others you have Taken in and Added to your world. Wish nothing but positivity and greatness to you and the outcome in the lives you are helping. And to all men doing the same things or doing these things along side a woman good job to you all too!
I was in a grocery check out line as a young mom & found myself struggling to hold my 3mo son while placing my items on the belt. A young woman stepped up, placed all my groceries on the belt & smiled, rescue complete. That was 30 years ago & I still pray God blesses her & her loved ones.
You rock,,Great job, so glad you let them people know what the real deal is they are the type of people who are on top but when they fall they will fall hard. People need to be kind to other and help not judge.
btw-being on foodstamps is already embarrassing enough- so maybe some ppl should realize that NOBODY decides oh-i think ill go get foodstamps cuz its soooo awesome and have everyone see em have to use their foodstamps! !! also-some of us are truely disabled and unfortunately cannot work-so were forced,,if we want to eat to get foodstamps- and im VERY grateful for all of the help i get from taxpayers whom if i didn't have that help i'd be very hungry!!! also-dont u know that if i could work i would? ?? u think its fun having nothing? ? well its not! I've got debilitating migraines and severe anxiety and mild case of agoraphobia and i dont even go to movies-to clubs to dance or concerts cuz of my illnesses! ! so before anyone judges me or anybody- maybe you should ask me or someone why im on foodstamps and id b glad to explain why.....please don't kick ppl when their down,,just try to help em up😀
Hater of Humans, I think you, and many like you, believe that more abuse the system than don't. That's absolutely not the case! As she said before, it's humiliating pulling out that food stamp card, or telling the receptionist at the doctor's office, in a room full of people, that you or your child has medicaid. Most people won't go through that if they don't have to.. and that's not even mentioning all the hoops you have to jump through to get approved in the first place. It's not as simple as filling out an application and getting approved. If you're lying, you _will_ get caught. It's not hard for the government to verify information about someone so they _will_ find out...and they _do_ look into each and every person. I wish everyone had to go through the process of attempting to receive assistance and then have to live on the assistance for a period of time. It's nowhere near enough money to survive on, even if you receive cash assistance/welfare on top of everything else. It's not worth the headache and the embarrassment if you don't actually need it. Most people would be in shock if forced to give up their assumptions and face the truth.
Hater of Humans, I actually wasn't trying to argue with or offend you, and I apologize if my original comment came across harsher than intended. However, I've worked in grocery stores, too. That doesn't tell you anything and in fact, even mentioning that and saying that's seeing it first hand shows that you missed the point of the video. The absolute only thing you're seeing first hand is a fellow human being using a food stamp card. They can have a designer bag, an expensive new iPhone and drive a brand new car.. But you still haven't seen inside their private life first hand. Even if you're their friend, you probably don't know the entire story. You have no idea why they have those things, if they even belong to them, or who bought them. It could be a gift. You also have no idea what has brought them to that point. It could be a newly single mother whose husband just ran out of her, leaving her with nothing but a few material possessions. Hell, it could be someone that's approved to use a card to shop for someone else. We have no clue. And no, if there were more people that abused the system than those that don't, there wouldn't be a system. All your response did is show that you don't really know the ins and outs of government assistance. That being said; yes, there are way too many that do abuse it, I don't disagree with that at all. It's just not as many as people assume, nor does it even affect the individual American's paycheck as much as they think it does. Regardless, those that abuse the system deserve the felony fraud charges they're likely to receive. They're making things so much more difficult for those that need it, if not, essentially, stealing from them, as well as taxpayers. People forget though, or assume differently, that the person with that food stamp or medicaid card is more often than not, a taxpayer, too.
Hater of Humans Your comments are sort of contradictory. Yes, you agree that someone who told their story is in need of food stamps. But in the same comment, you're making assumptions, and judging people, when all you did is check out their groceries. That does not make you privy to the details of why they need assistance. From what you're saying, it seems you're making judgments based off of your opinions, not facts. Unless every person you ever checked out gives you an explanation of why they are receiving food stamps, you don't know. I'm also permanently disabled. My disease leaves me home and bed-bound, so my daughter is who usually buys my groceries for me. She deals with a lot of people giving her dirty looks, and making unnecessary rude and judgemental comments, when they don't know the situation. Times I'm able to go with her, even being in my wheelchair, I've gotten the rude, judgemental treatment. You see, even getting disability payments and food stamps, I'm still well below the poverty level. Though I appreciate the assistance I do qualify for , it's barely enough to survive, it's not a luxurious position to be in. I had always done very well in life, purchasing a home at 21 for myself and my child. Working long hours to make ends meet, and also be able to provide my child with the best I could. One day that was taken away because of my failing health, something beyond my control. I do believe the majority of people who end up having to apply for food stamps, aren't happy about it. Having to depend on assistance such as food stamps isn't anything the majority of people would choose. I'd do anything to be able to go back to work, be able to live a normal life. And I definitely could do without judgment, rude and hurtful comments, from people that don't know my situation. I'm able to speak up for myself, and if I hear someone judging me, or my daughter who is helping me, I will kindly ask them if they would like me to tell them my medical condition. I don't do that to be an ass, I do it too hopefully open their eyes, and educate them. Hoping they won't put other people through that hurt, because it is very hurtful. Anyone who qualifies for benefits has to go through an application process. You don't just walk in and automatically get approved. Yes, you're entitled to have your opinions. However, if you're voicing your opinion in a public platform, you can't expect for "no one to tell you otherwise" , because they also have a right to voice their opinions as well. I find it hard to see how you can say with certainty, something like "people are popping out kids just to get more benefits". Do you know them personally to make that assumption. Go to the Human Services website in your state. You'll see even having another child doesn't give a substantial raise in any benefits. Food stamps don't provide this luxurious life style. If you have actual evidence that someone is abusing the system, there is also information on how you can report that. So by all means if you have actual proof that someone should not be on food stamps, other than your opinion by looking at them, file a report. I do agree that there are people who take advantage of the system and they should be reported. You simply can't tell just by someone buying groceries in your lane what their situation is, and why they're getting food stamps. They may be working two jobs, but their income is still so low, they qualify for food stamps. One of the parents may have gotten laid off and are actively looking for work. But in the meantime them and their children need to eat. I can't imagine a decent human being having an issue with ensuring children have food to eat. I was in the workforce since 1994 before becoming disabled. I never thought I'd be in a position to even need to apply for food stamps. But it happens, in an instant, someone's life can change, and they need help. Just to let you know, it's not an easy process to go through to receive benefits. You can't simply have a child, or even get sick and automatically qualify. In the majority of states, if you are able-bodied to work, you must participate in a work search, and provide proof of that. if you are disabled , you still have to go through the process and prove that . Once you are approved, you still have to recertify anywhere from every 3 months, 6 months, or annually. Even for those who have multiple children, once those children are of a certain age, they must work. Some States temporarily provide child care assistance so they can work even if the children are young. Best case scenario they get a job fast, and the income is enough to feed the family. Worst case scenario, they have a hard time finding employment, or even still qualify because the job, or jobs don't pay enough. In the state I live in if after certain amount of time they can't find a job, they have to do volunteer work. There are too many variables to even name. I also am not trying to be rude to you, or argumentative. I believe it's good to voice our opinions, even if they're different.That's how we get the opportunity to see things from other people's point of view. We can all learn from each other, even if it doesn't change anyone's mind, we can communicate respectfully, and if necessary agree to disagree. I think we all want the same thing, for people who truly qualify for benefits to be the ones receiving them.
Froggy77100, very very well said. I don't mean in response to HaterofHumans, but in general. So many people just don't understand and it's sad. It's sad because, at least in my opinion, it shows how little compassion our society has nowadays.
I'd say that the abusers are a small percentage of those who receive assistance; I'd rather let a few game the system (then force them to repay what they received plus interest when they get caught) than to deny help to those who need it).
Thanks to all those who open there homes to all these beautiful kids who have become homeless by different situations,it's people like you who make this world a better place,may God always have his hand over you and all your love ❤️ ones you have blessed!🙏
Two angels in line together, thank god some one has the heart to take care of little ones.
The world would be a better place if more people were like the foster mom and kind woman who stood up for her
HELL YEAH!!!!! SHE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO SPEAK HER MIND!!!! I WOULD PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DONE MUCH THAN THAT!!!!😤😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬
Walk a mile in some one else's shoes. You will learn so much
You bet!! You go girl! The world needs more strong women like these compassionate two.
You can bet your bottom dollar that she did the right thing! I am so proud of her! Thanks to Life magazine Daily for posting this video! I've known more than one woman in my eighty years on this earth that opened their home to other precious children that had either been orphaned or whose parents were unable to take care of them. These women, and their husbands also, deserve medals, because of their love of children or that they are willing to take on more than their share simply out of their love for children and their fellow man. May God richly bless them & their families and the little ones to whom they've opened their hearts and homes!
My mother took in foster kids and ended up adopting one of them. My sister took after our mom and started taking in foster kids. Now she has 3 kids by birth and she and her husband have adopted 11 of those foster kids - most are high risk. One young man that they weren't able to adopt still keeps in touch. He is So. Korean and he, his wife, and their baby keep in touch. Fostering is a calling. Believe me, they didn't do it for the money. They are very soft-hearted and I'm very proud of her.
People can be so rude! Making assumptions without knowing anything about her situation. Thank God for the lady who helped her!
It happens all the time and everywhere. When did we change from helping each other to judging each other?
Lexi Shot I have no idea but it sucks!
Lexi Shot ; this is sad,... it’s people with our mindset that need to stay strong to our hearts.
I have no idea why so many humans feel the need to not just judge but attack another person for something they know nothing about;..... I just really hope it changes!!!
You did the right thing. Thanks for sticking up for the new mother of 3 and thank you for opening your heart for kids other than your own. All children need help and especially love.
All i can say to both foster moms is Perfect and God bless you.
When I read this I began to weep. Foster parents are truly Angels, its a tough job. Unfortunately, it's all too easy to mock and critiscize, especially when poeple haven't experienced true hardship. God bless you Lyndsey for your courage and love, and ,God bless our wonderful, loving, unselfish foster parents everywhere. Alan, UK.🇬🇧🇺🇸
That’s a great story. Calling rude people is great!!
Praying for children in foster care system that they receive the love that they so desperately need
Amen
There's nothing more disgusting than people who think they know everything, when they really know nothing. Good for the lady who helped the foster mom. If everyone would think about what or how they could be of help just one time during each day, this world would be such different place. All you foster parents out there are doing God's work. Thank you!!!!
Absolutely! Rude people need to be made aware of the fact that judging others without all the facts makes them look stupid. Lindsey showed this new mom compassion and understanding and encouragement. She did not have months to prepare for these little ones. Their loss was fresh and scary. Everyone within earshot of this scene, were given a lesson in kindness. These little ones were blessed to be placed in a loving home.
Absolutely, 100% thumbs up. My wife passed away a couple of years ago, but, over the years, we fostered 101 kids, adopting 4, (she already had 4 biological). Most people don't realize (or care) how many kids there are like this in our society. Then we wonder why a disturbed teen does terrible unthinkable things. If everyone would do just 1 kind thing for someone less fortunate, our country might have a chance of coming out of its path of self destruction
Mark Norwood - you sir are a bloody hero. Thank you.
Mark Norwood - Bless you, Mark! 🙏👏🙌👍💞 Sorry for your loss❣️💞
Now that’s God’s love & compassion at work. She probably gave that mother a life changing moment & the strength she needed to forge on,an that’s a beautiful thing❤️
No, the woman had the guts to stand up to those self-absorbed snobs! Maybe those snobs were so-called Christians!
Bravo to her, she didn't even think, she just stood up for her fellow woman. That's what we should all do, if you see wrong/injustice, speak up. Some people need to be checked and put back in their own lane. NOBODY is better than anyone else, we all put our britches on the same way, one leg at a time. Never judge a book by it's cover, you have no idea what is going on and the current circumstances of strangers. That couple should be ashamed of themselves and I hope they are so that maybe they can be an example and stop this crap from happening to someone else.
Absolutely what a courageous mom stepping up to the new mom...God Bless them both
Rude is not the word that couple was downright cruel and revolting it makes me sick to my stomach
April Dannette Another thing I thought of why the couple were so insulting and scathing could be that they cant have children and these people can.get critical of peoples parenting styles because they have this assumption that if they had/have kids that it woukd be more special more loved. behave better because their little Prince or Princess will be perfect and want for nothing. Seen it.
that perfect kid is usualy the one that needs help in dealing with others in the real world not just at home
Mandy Simms well said Mandy
Agreed. This was evil, cruel and jealous behaviour by arrogant devils with no empathy or sympathy. Those souls are lost forever. They are beyond saving.
Thank you for taking care of those children takes a good person.
Just want to thank everyone who has ever opened their home to someone in need you are the once that makes me believe there is still hope for the world
True or false, this is a wonderful way to respond to someone with such a negative attitude towards someone else trying to make ends meet. It is a scenario that generally occurs in real life and the ending is not farfetched. A similar thing happened to my Sunday school teacher at a Wall-Mart checkout before, and his response to the situation was similar in some respects. I don't know about other areas, but something similar happened in the American South. Whether you believe me or the video or not, there is still a lot of wisdom to be gained from this video. =)
P.S.
Not everyone thinks to start recording every time something amazing may happen. Having some kind of proof of the act is typically the last thing on someone's mind when they're busy helping someone else.
It takes a lot of guts in this world to stand up for somebody in line who is getting slammed with all sorts of insults and snickering I have nothing but High Praise for the woman who stuck up for that lady and her kids if anybody receives that one tell her thank you on behalf of a good percentage of us here in the United States
Herbert Orendorff ; agree 100%
This Australian stands with you.
We have a lot of judgemental people in Aus too, much like the snickering couple;... it’s just heartbreaking.
It takes guts, both Lindsay and this new foster mama both have guts;... unconditional love makes a person strong.
Peace be with you!!!
It does take guts,and I would have done the same thing,because hatefulness is something that needs to be faced head on,and I no longer care what anyone thinks of me...I think people who are foster parents are awesome people because they open their homes to children that need safe,stable places to live...we need more kind people like that in this world :)
Herbert Orendorff You said it perfectly.
Geraldine Witcher.i was once on foodstamps they help ive worked all my life and have paid welfare taxes.to tjose who look down their noses at others .remember thid God has a sense of humor and that could be you one day .stop to help have a kind word .after all we are all human
Sunshine Hornick I completely agree with everything you just said. IDC what someone's says about me, the minute they say something about my friends or family, they better watch their backs. I will show no mercy to people who think it's okay to look down on others just because they arre different. I have news for them: Everyone is different in their own way. So I'd tell them to shut up and leave that person alone because they have no right to say that to another human being with emotions and a personality.
Ugh this made me so emotional both with Anger at the couple and happiness that the woman stood up for whats right and that the other woman saved those babies i welled up
She absolutely did the right thing.
People are so quick to judge, I’m glad you stood up for this lady
This story touches me deeply. I also spent some of my early years in foster homes, and have experienced being prejudged. Just a little kindness goes sooooo far. Not all foster homes are child centered and loving though.Wishing this new Foster mom lots of wisdom and courage as she seeks to do her best for her foster children. Well done to the lady who gave a little lesson on compassion to the couple passing judgment about
them, without shaming them.
Not only do I think Lindsey did the right thing, I commend her for being so polite about it. I fortunately live in a small town and a close community, it's rare that I have to deal with people like this. However, when I do encounter such rude and thoughtless people, I can't help but tell them I what think of them.
Hammerschlägen M Just because you'd be a coward in sticking up for others, doesn't mean others are as well.
Para Momal ignorant people don't deserve a response...
Mattie Johnson No, but they do deserve being identified. 😋😁
Should of thrown a pack of meat at that couple. Dead in the face.
Mello, a waste of good meat!
People are ignorant. Lindsey helped educate them when they needed to be. Open hearts and open minds are in need❤️
I've watched this video on another channel here on TH-cam! It upset me how the couple were ignorant to her! I'm grateful to Lindsay for putting the rude couple straight!
thats society for you people have no respect
Oh my God what a story I was bawling my eyes out. What a brave woman to stand up.& say something
It's a fake story
berto stevens Let's say that this *is* a fake story. Crap like this absolutely happens in real life. People have no problem remembering to use a filter on their pictures, but they darned sure forget to use one on their mouth.
Its very rare. And when you accept fake as real, you are subject to manipulation. When you substitute your feelings for truth you are unable to live in reality. The degradation of society is proportional to the degradation of critical thinking. Your comment is a complete absence of critical thinking, and therefore a much greater determent to society than rude comments made in public.
I too was a foster mom. Did this for many years and was blessed to have 78 beautiful children in my care. 4 at a time. I remember the looks when we went to town with our own children and our new family additions. Thank you so much for posting this story.
There are some spiteful, cruel people out there but mostly kind, caring, loving and supportive people/parents who struggle with the burdens in their lives. Thank you for that message of kindness. It should give us all hope.
This made me cry so hard. Just beautiful!
Well done Lindsey..we need more people like her..especially now in day in age where if you are a hard working person but if you take any help..even though YOU ARE TAX PAYER TOO..horrible people call you takers or something..when they have absolutely no clue
I applaud her for standing up to those bullies. It seems no one understands why kids are bullies, when adults offer them bullying lessons on a regular basis!
Sad
Well put, kids just mirror what they see adults doing!
She absolutely did the right thing. I'm glad that she put that rude couple in their place. Ppl are so rude
This made me tear up. Eyes watering right now. Thank GOD there are people that help.
Laughing at others who are in a bad situation is never a good Idea. KARMA will catchup to you.
Neither is to have pity for others
lemonlost coll We like to think so.
There are too many self righteous idiots around who delight in putting people down to make themselves feel superior!!
Ieró̱ny mos
Who was showing pity for who? Lindsay related to the woman who was wrongfully being judged,and ridiculed. That is called empathy, as human beings we should all be capable of having empathy, and compassion for others.
lemonhead ( lemonlost if you know what show is lemonhead from you get major respoct from me hahah) karma catchesup is bs it never does mate . 27 years f loving and where is this karma yu speak of were is my break. real world ppl eat or be eaten
ante ante karma always caches up BIG TIME bud, a good example of that the bad lifestyle that criminals lead they keep doing evil thinking they will never be punished well guess what 98% of the time they get what??? caught. Most of the time the people are just not aware of whats happening in there lives when things go wrong bud. You are WRONG
God bless you all..
.first the children....for they never asked to be born....the woman who cared enough to open her home and heart to three children....and lastly to the storyteller ....you all have many treasures in heaven...it takes compassion in this world today....so that being the case ....I also pray for the two people who spoke before thinking....it's not the suit that makes the man or woman is it....I pray they have a turn of heart and see what we see.....
thank you...
mother of 5 sons...
they are my gold.
Mary Leblanc - and your five boys are lucky to have such a lovely Mum. Much love and respect from the UK. ;)
High praise to both of these women. God bless them and all of the children. I can’t stomach people who think having money makes them better than those that are barely scraping by. My husband hates shopping with me, because I am always, as he says, sticking my nose in other peoples business. But, I cannot just look the other way, when there is a wrong being committed. I am 64 and I remember more than a few times when if I would only have just been acknowledged as a human being in a bad situation would have made things a little bit better. Sometimes just a smile or a kind word can turn someone’s day the other way. I grew up seeing my mother used as a punching bag. I tried to protect her when I was 8, and ended up with a broken nose. I have never been able to look the other way when I observed a situation where I knew or suspected a child or a woman was being abused.
Sheila Lowe well done Sheila I agree with you 100 %
I don't understand how people could give this a thumbs down. Explain yourselves.
People are so quick to judge. God bless this foster parent, the children, and Lindsey. Well done.
I think Lindsay rock's! I also think that anyone who would stand there & mock someone like that should be ashamed!!!
They was!
Some people have no filter! Kids come first, and thank God, that she spoke up!
Blessed be everyone🌻💜🍁
The people that have the most to say are the ones that are least willing to help.
She did the right thing. God bless her and anyone who helps children.
This breaks my heart! I hate this world and all the uptight fools in it!!! I applaud this woman and her bravery for sticking up to those bad ppl
Oh my that couple surely needed that woman that helped the mother give them that much needed reprimanding and didn't deserve her holding back her as she did ! God bless her for helping as so many people are judgmental when the see mixed racial children with a family !! There are more reasons to stop & think for couples work at Children's Homes as Houseparents & others are Fostering kids who need a loving family & some are adopted & some of course are from different fathers & that one mother ! But thank God they weren't aborted or left on the streets but some precious mom or couple are taking care of them !! So instead of judging them , say a prayer for them & give them a 👍😍🤗 to make their day !!
The world needs a lots of Lindsays out there some people don't know what is like to be abused or been hungry the don't know if the father's or moms lost there jobs who is those kind of people how can they be so rude it could be them next we plan life but what life brings to us we don't know so no one should judge any one go Lindsay thank you for standing up
Stella F the world needs women to stop having multiple kids.
+Bush Wookie i do agree whith you i have expressed out so many times women need to stop sleeping around and believe that they can do so much better in there life than just having babies

The only thing that matters is the Foster mom got assistance from another human being ...thank u lady that helped her..bravo 💝
Lindsay, I just wanted to thank you for your caring, loving and inclusive attitude toward that bold and brave woman with all of the kids. People anymore just snicker and laugh almost right in your face. They just make assumptions that are better kept to themselves. The ignorance shown by that couple is awful and seemingly getting worse in our society. I'm sure that woman you he!ped will never forget you. God bless both of you. You rose above and took the high road, and you are very appreciated. We need more people like you, for sure!
I'm a mother of one and I felt this. Crying. So touching. Need people like those ladies. The one that opened up her home to those children/ her children and the one that spoke up.. Xoxox
Was raised in the system for 8yrs. The foster parent seriously go thru alot jus as those kids do. Im thankful i was with my foster parents they were more of a parent 2me thn my own. So watch wht u say bout those ppl. Just thnk ur kids could b in foster care..praise these foster parents 4wht they do..
She absolutely did the right thing in confronting those “people”!
Those "people" are upset at millions of other "people" that have eight kids and no job, the "men" that brag about having 10 or 12 kids and the "women" who have a herd of children because they are apparently promiscuous and won't insist on birth control. Sex is like a hockey game and the woman is the goalie keeping herself from getting pregnant. Of course the man should share responsibility for birth control, but it is ultimately up to the woman whether she gets pregnant or not. It's her body, after all.
Grumpy Hermit oh, well that’s enough to give them the right to be complete jerks toward someone who doesn’t fit any of those stereotypes. Thanks for filling in the missing info on those “people”.
Grumpy Hermit who are they to judge. SMFH fuck them they're both pos and you defending them are just as bad.
@Grumpy Hermit - Thanks for being brave enough to speak the truth!
Cat's Pajamas except it wasn’t the truth. They were foster kids....
HATERS NEED SHUT DOWN. WAY TO GO.
nah i think i'll stick to calling out this shitty clickbait
Very well done. We are raising our grandkids and they are happy and we are loving every minute. Many people have told us they wouldn't do it but they are missing out on watching the kids grow up. Nothing more rewarding.
And after helping she rushes home to tell everyone how wonderful and caring she is!!! Real kindness does not need to be displayed in peoples faces.
thank God for people that can speak up to those that bully and think they're so righteous... I don't think they would ever understand what it is to be starving and what it is to have without and what it is to have parents that love them... This woman was courageous to speak up 4 Justice and God will have a special place in his heart for her thank you
She was right to tell the couple off
I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING.
Gabrielle Budd ; my papa would have said you’ll get yours one day tothat couple.
thumbs up!!!!! all children deserve love and stability and before some jerk starts judging others-maybe you outta walk a mile in their shoes first! !!!💕💕
I really can't stand these robotic voices but sometimes when I come across them I just soldier on through it in hopes that there is a sweet heartwarming ending & that's definitely the case with this video. I'm happy I sat through it. Both of the women in this tale are wonderful compassionate SELFLESS women. There should be MORE mothers, & people in general, like them in this world! People are so quick to judge others anymore when they haven't a clue the entirety of what someone else could be going through. Who are we to judge others??? We need more compassionate loving human beings in the world, not only when our country/state or cities are in crisis but EVERYday.
Tattooed NJGirl honestly I watched this on mute with the captions on
The entire story is also in the description.
Usually, the entire story is written in the description. I paused it and read it instead because I wanted to know the story. LOL. The voice drives me bonkers!
Save the voices for goanimate
I wish there were more brave people in this world. What she did is truly remarkable. Exactly like a Guardian Angel.
We need more people like Lindsay and the mom who fostered those children in need. I wish we had no creatures like that crass couple who mocked the struggling mom.
God Bless the new Foster mom and God Bless Lindsey for telling those rude people what they needed to hear. God Bless All The Foster Parents and Children 🙇♀️🙏
She was nicer to that couple then i would have been they deserved a real chewing mocking little children like that and that poor woman even if they had been her biological kids that was not warranted its cruel and sick its bullying not just to the mom but to the kids ooh some people make me sick Bravo to that woman 1 for stepping in and 2 for keeping her cool with that rude couple i can't say i would have kept my cool or been that mature with my response
April, I agree! I don't think I would've been nearly as polite to them myself. Once the little ones were out if earshot I would've had some pretty rude comments to give them right back!
April Dannette - me neither! And I would have turned around to them while the foster mother was still in earshot and told them to SHUT THE HELL UP!! Then once she and the little ones had left, I'd have given them the ear bashing of their superficial, narrow minded lives.
Bravo!!! Love, Love Love this! ..takes a lot to live in this world..back off..let the good guys get thru!!
Lindsay was a true blessing by helping out that woman. Well done Lindsay. God bless you.
Yes she did standing ovation for what you did to help and for what you said. Bless You!
Well said/done Lindsay...some ignorant, selfish, critical people need to be put in their places when they open their mouths. Applause.👏👏
Hats off to Lindsey. People are so cruel. Never know a situation without opening their big mouth. Humans are the worse race there is.
If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say it. The couple behind in the line should have kept quiet.
Judge not, lest ye be judged! Matthew 7:1
google
I’m not sure if I could have been that kind of woman to just say what she said to the couple. Hats off to Lindsay! Not enough people out there like her! Thank you for what you have done!!
Thank you to both of these moms. As someone who has to investigate situation of abuse and neglect, it is hard to have to remove any child from their home. We are so thankful to have great foster and adoptive parents who help us provide a safe place for them.
I have one more thing to say all the same people who mock single mothers with a bunch of kids i have heard them say things like why didn't she abort some these people only value themselves and their opinions makes me furious
April Dannette Hey I know of some religious ppl who are just like those couple who were mocking that woman.
well they are fakes I am a Christian but I am not religious because religion screws everything up
+Gorden Wood , just like a racist person does bringing race into a conversation where race wasnt the topic , here you go bring religion into a conversation where it wasnt warranted. just like a religionist( my own word) starting to really bother me. im a Christian too, and i am not like that either, nor do i bring race or anything else into conversations that dont belong there. it is getting so old to attack people just for being one thing or another without all the facts. just like in this case!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not a violent person, I'm a strong believer in turning the other cheek. I'm too old to go off hitting people anyway.. But if someone told me I should have aborted one of my 3 children, I think I'd knock the living crap out of them.
That's awesome what a wonderful woman.
2brave women here, 1 raising some1 else's kid's & 1standing up for an unknown person in time of need.. May God bless you both
Wish there was more people like this woman who put the couple in their place.
All I can say, is that you are a true treasure, Linsday. You, that woman taking care of so many wonderful children, and EVERY single mother on WIC. Bless you all.
I don't care if she had had 29 biological just for example thats not possible idon't think kids by all different baby daddies nobody deserves that treatment not when the are obviously trying to care for them and not pawning them off on strangers this woman was doing the right thing ugh sorry rant over now
Yes she did it's a shame that people judge only by what they see and have no idea what the problem might be those children also need care just like everybody else hope someday they won't need care themselves someday thank God for good deascent people that will open their hearts and homes to these children
Sad how many people assume, judge, and get down right nasty, remember this, once you start being NASTY it gets easier and you get still NASTIER. I recall the words of a dear wise person, "When in doubt do the kind things." Try it on first, you might like yourself better and other folks too.
Thank you for this beautiful story . These souls exist. As do those like the ones who are quick to mock . As long as there is one soul with pure heart, the slums of humanity will be kept at bay.
It's a good feeling. I recently helped an elderly couple that was $2.45 short of their groceries...… no junk foods, all staple food products.Not much money I know, but to see their faces was so heartwarming, they were very nice people. Just a little love, a little bit of caring...… pass it on.
This happens to me all the time.. I adopted my 3 year old & 2 year old ( had them from birth ) my 3 year old is native & my 2 year old is Hispanic - it's horrible the looks I get, the hateful words & the judgment! I can't handle it,I honestly fear for them as they get older it's only going to get worse. They are my ENTIRE life & world.
They have made us better so hearing people judge my baby's is heartbreaking - I finally started saying something back to people who do it..at first I tried to ignore it but it gets harder every time! You'll do anything for your children including confront the worst people!
Saved by Christ , sweetie I will be praying for your little miracles. Trust the Lord He will direct the paths for a wonderful life. Bless you for adopting ♡
Take care
May God bless you❤️
The Ancient One He already has. She has two beautiful babies that she loves and they love her
Yes Linda Tuttle said it best God Bless you and your family.
Thank you so much for being a GOOD person maybe the world would be better if more people was like you
One of God's Angels....May the LORD Bless and keep you Lindsay.
Sometimes l feel like crying about the human condition. But then l think of the truly compassionate, caring , genuine people who are on this earth. And, l thank God for them.🙌🙌😇😇
She did the right thing ☺. My Parents told my Siblings & I when we were young that, no one is better then us & we aren't better then anyone else. My Parents are the Greatest & I am so thankful for the way they raised us. GOD BLESS ALL THOSE STRUGGLING PARENTS 👼👰
I would have done that in a much more loud rude way. I hope they learned there lesson and it was done and said better than I could have thought of it. Iv been a single mom and been divorced iv used state food and medical before it’s hard sometimes and the crude looks and comments can really tear a person down. I’m so grateful for those who do help I’m a mom of 4 I have a blended family and no one ever even offers to open a door or help me out with my groceries. Sometimes I wonder if people even see me as they knock into us. It was a hard transition from 3 to 4. Thank god for my 11 year old son who is a gentleman and opens doors and carries bags for me. Being a mom isn’t easy it’s so hard all on its own and strangers don’t need to make it even harder. Kids in the system deserve more they need love no unkind words loosing your parents is hard enough. Praise god for women like her
Bobbie Anderson and for women like you, dear 💪
I'm the first one to talk if someone is treated rudely but that must b the Gemini thing in me lol
Amen.An Amazing And Precious Mom.God will bless her and the children.For even God said “Suffer Little Children to come unto me.” Sorry this couple had harden their hearts.We should never judge.
rosemary marsh I agree ,we don't know the background that couple came from,but if is similar to the woman with the kids then there is no excuse for their ignorance
Great job sticking up for the lady and kids. People can be so heartless when they only see how well they have it and think what they have will last. The people mocking her where ignorant and self righteous. The 2 Mother’s here are to be honored because they have given their lives to raise and pour into other little ones that can change this world. Hats off to all who help those who can’t help themselves.
This has me Tearing with pride for that woman (NO. FOR THOSE WOMEN). Thanks for posting those. And to all foster, adopting, aunt, cousin or sister that steps up the right for the right reasons I thank you for what you Are Doing Now, what you Will Be Doing Later, I even Thank you all for what you Have Already Done in the past for the benefit of all Others you have Taken in and Added to your world. Wish nothing but positivity and greatness to you and the outcome in the lives you are helping. And to all men doing the same things or doing these things along side a woman good job to you all too!
Omg that’s so mean of those people. They need to put there self in her shoes.
So much ignorance in then world.. That woman is so nice..
What a twisted world we living so cruel
YES, THANK GOD FOR DEFENDING THE HELPLESS....LOVES UR STORY..GOD BLESS YOU.
I was in a grocery check out line as a young mom & found myself struggling to hold my 3mo son while placing my items on the belt. A young woman stepped up, placed all my groceries on the belt & smiled, rescue complete. That was 30 years ago & I still pray God blesses her & her loved ones.
You rock,,Great job, so glad you let them people know what the real deal is they are the type of people who are on top but when they fall they will fall hard. People need to be kind to other and help not judge.
Brilliant! Well done!
Picket Fence
btw-being on foodstamps is already embarrassing enough- so maybe some ppl should realize that NOBODY decides oh-i think ill go get foodstamps cuz its soooo awesome and have everyone see em have to use their foodstamps! !! also-some of us are truely disabled and unfortunately cannot work-so were forced,,if we want to eat to get foodstamps- and im VERY grateful for all of the help i get from taxpayers whom if i didn't have that help i'd be very hungry!!! also-dont u know that if i could work i would? ?? u think its fun having nothing? ? well its not! I've got debilitating migraines and severe anxiety and mild case of agoraphobia and i dont even go to movies-to clubs to dance or concerts cuz of my illnesses! ! so before anyone judges me or anybody- maybe you should ask me or someone why im on foodstamps and id b glad to explain why.....please don't kick ppl when their down,,just try to help em up😀
Hater of Humans, I think you, and many like you, believe that more abuse the system than don't. That's absolutely not the case!
As she said before, it's humiliating pulling out that food stamp card, or telling the receptionist at the doctor's office, in a room full of people, that you or your child has medicaid. Most people won't go through that if they don't have to.. and that's not even mentioning all the hoops you have to jump through to get approved in the first place. It's not as simple as filling out an application and getting approved. If you're lying, you _will_ get caught. It's not hard for the government to verify information about someone so they _will_ find out...and they _do_ look into each and every person.
I wish everyone had to go through the process of attempting to receive assistance and then have to live on the assistance for a period of time. It's nowhere near enough money to survive on, even if you receive cash assistance/welfare on top of everything else. It's not worth the headache and the embarrassment if you don't actually need it. Most people would be in shock if forced to give up their assumptions and face the truth.
Hater of Humans, I actually wasn't trying to argue with or offend you, and I apologize if my original comment came across harsher than intended. However, I've worked in grocery stores, too. That doesn't tell you anything and in fact, even mentioning that and saying that's seeing it first hand shows that you missed the point of the video.
The absolute only thing you're seeing first hand is a fellow human being using a food stamp card. They can have a designer bag, an expensive new iPhone and drive a brand new car.. But you still haven't seen inside their private life first hand. Even if you're their friend, you probably don't know the entire story. You have no idea why they have those things, if they even belong to them, or who bought them. It could be a gift. You also have no idea what has brought them to that point. It could be a newly single mother whose husband just ran out of her, leaving her with nothing but a few material possessions. Hell, it could be someone that's approved to use a card to shop for someone else. We have no clue.
And no, if there were more people that abused the system than those that don't, there wouldn't be a system. All your response did is show that you don't really know the ins and outs of government assistance.
That being said; yes, there are way too many that do abuse it, I don't disagree with that at all. It's just not as many as people assume, nor does it even affect the individual American's paycheck as much as they think it does. Regardless, those that abuse the system deserve the felony fraud charges they're likely to receive. They're making things so much more difficult for those that need it, if not, essentially, stealing from them, as well as taxpayers. People forget though, or assume differently, that the person with that food stamp or medicaid card is more often than not, a taxpayer, too.

Your comments are sort of contradictory. Yes, you agree that someone who told their story is in need of food stamps. But in the same comment, you're making assumptions, and judging people, when all you did is check out their groceries. That does not make you privy to the details of why they need assistance. From what you're saying, it seems you're making judgments based off of your opinions, not facts. Unless every person you ever checked out gives you an explanation of why they are receiving food stamps, you don't know. I'm also permanently disabled. My disease leaves me home and bed-bound, so my daughter is who usually buys my groceries for me. She deals with a lot of people giving her dirty looks, and making unnecessary rude and judgemental comments, when they don't know the situation. Times I'm able to go with her, even being in my wheelchair, I've gotten the rude, judgemental treatment. You see, even getting disability payments and food stamps, I'm still well below the poverty level. Though I appreciate the assistance I do qualify for , it's barely enough to survive, it's not a luxurious position to be in. I had always done very well in life, purchasing a home at 21 for myself and my child. Working long hours to make ends meet, and also be able to provide my child with the best I could. One day that was taken away because of my failing health, something beyond my control. I do believe the majority of people who end up having to apply for food stamps, aren't happy about it. Having to depend on assistance such as food stamps isn't anything the majority of people would choose. I'd do anything to be able to go back to work, be able to live a normal life. And I definitely could do without judgment, rude and hurtful comments, from people that don't know my situation. I'm able to speak up for myself, and if I hear someone judging me, or my daughter who is helping me, I will kindly ask them if they would like me to tell them my medical condition. I don't do that to be an ass, I do it too hopefully open their eyes, and educate them. Hoping they won't put other people through that hurt, because it is very hurtful. Anyone who qualifies for benefits has to go through an application process. You don't just walk in and automatically get approved. Yes, you're entitled to have your opinions. However, if you're voicing your opinion in a public platform, you can't expect for "no one to tell you otherwise" , because they also have a right to voice their opinions as well. I find it hard to see how you can say with certainty, something like "people are popping out kids just to get more benefits". Do you know them personally to make that assumption. Go to the Human Services website in your state. You'll see even having another child doesn't give a substantial raise in any benefits. Food stamps don't provide this luxurious life style. If you have actual evidence that someone is abusing the system, there is also information on how you can report that. So by all means if you have actual proof that someone should not be on food stamps, other than your opinion by looking at them, file a report. I do agree that there are people who take advantage of the system and they should be reported. You simply can't tell just by someone buying groceries in your lane what their situation is, and why they're getting food stamps. They may be working two jobs, but their income is still so low, they qualify for food stamps. One of the parents may have gotten laid off and are actively looking for work. But in the meantime them and their children need to eat. I can't imagine a decent human being having an issue with ensuring children have food to eat. I was in the workforce since 1994 before becoming disabled. I never thought I'd be in a position to even need to apply for food stamps. But it happens, in an instant, someone's life can change, and they need help. Just to let you know, it's not an easy process to go through to receive benefits. You can't simply have a child, or even get sick and automatically qualify. In the majority of states, if you are able-bodied to work, you must participate in a work search, and provide proof of that. if you are disabled , you still have to go through the process and prove that . Once you are approved, you still have to recertify anywhere from every 3 months, 6 months, or annually. Even for those who have multiple children, once those children are of a certain age, they must work. Some States temporarily provide child care assistance so they can work even if the children are young. Best case scenario they get a job fast, and the income is enough to feed the family. Worst case scenario, they have a hard time finding employment, or even still qualify because the job, or jobs don't pay enough. In the state I live in if after certain amount of time they can't find a job, they have to do volunteer work. There are too many variables to even name. I also am not trying to be rude to you, or argumentative. I believe it's good to voice our opinions, even if they're different.That's how we get the opportunity to see things from other people's point of view. We can all learn from each other, even if it doesn't change anyone's mind, we can communicate respectfully, and if necessary agree to disagree. I think we all want the same thing, for people who truly qualify for benefits to be the ones receiving them.
Froggy77100, very very well said. I don't mean in response to HaterofHumans, but in general. So many people just don't understand and it's sad. It's sad because, at least in my opinion, it shows how little compassion our society has nowadays.
I'd say that the abusers are a small percentage of those who receive assistance; I'd rather let a few game the system (then force them to repay what they received plus interest when they get caught) than to deny help to those who need it).
