Are you concerned about the lack of everyday resources, the rise in the cost of living, the pressures to keep or even find a job? Some of you may have thought "this would never happen to me".
You see the daily images on the news about natural disasters, store shelves not being restocked as normal due to a shortage with food distribution and everyday commodities.
It is just as challenging to get mail order supplies while dealing with the extended shipping delays and having to wait longer for what you want. All of this is still occurring at the same time prices for everything is still going up.
Navigating your way through these challenges while people are getting more and more desperate and still having to deal with a health crisis that affects us all in some form or the other is critical to say the least.
