8-ish years ago I got strangers to pay off $300k in “lunch debt” so kids who were being punished for owing money could do things like eat, go to prom, and, walk at their own graduation. In the 20 years I’ve engaged in social media, I have never received more hate for anything else I’ve said or done.

also, school lunch debt should be illegal

Much respect for your actions
Thank you for your service.
You did something good for the people on the bottom, instead of the people closer to the top. You disrupted the natural order. The hierarchs were and are deeply offended by this affront.

This time it is even easier to obtain firearms and to organize…
Just saying
You should be celebrated! 🥳
I gather they’re not doing a damn thing to help others. 🤬
FWIW, I believe Karma is real, and Karma knows what a beautiful person you are.
All of this palaver about the Golden Age just reminds me that, in the Gilded Age, poverty was rampant and kids starved and some lived in workhouses.
I'm sorry you got so much hate for doing this. I wish I could say I'm surprised by it, but it seems to be what a lot of people in this country really are.
The district I work for started giving free lunch and breakfast. And we also have a staff member whose sole job is to be a liaison between the homeless student population and the school...(1/2)
God bless your actions, though.
I’ll never be able to figure out why a Christian nation is comfortable with starving children.
the 'christian nation' you refer to is not as christian as you might think
save your strength
It’s an at once agonizing + liberating revelation
Thank you for changing lives Ashley
Thank you
Bishop Budde did so. They can too.
Every non-Quaker Protestant denomination wrote justifications for slavery.
They can signal their virtues by having some and condemning bigots with crosses.
Even non-Christians know the main teaching of Christ was to help the poor and downtrodden. For Christ followers to believe the poor should suffer takes indoctrination from their leaders.
All the negativity can go bye bye.. you could cure cancer n some MFs gonna be like "well ya know...."
Jeez. I'm sorry. And thank you for helping those kids.
I salute your efforts ✊
Thank you for reminding me of what I can do.
guess what kind of adult.
the poor" factor.
Blessings on you for making a difference.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I will gladly suffer the consequences for never becoming anything like these ghouls.
We do not live in an ideal world, and allowing children to suffer because of that is some "A Modest Proposal taken literally" levels of sadism. We have enough food and enough money. It's a NET GOOD.
You did the right thing.
