It's heartbreaking to hear about individuals having to make impossible choices just to keep their households afloat. Imagine going without essential healthcare, like dental work, for over a decade because every penny is needed for rent or electricity. A dad recently shared his story, admitting he skipped dentist visits for 14 years, leading to severe dental decay, all to ensure his kids had a roof over their heads and lights on. It's a stark reminder of the financial pressures many face in our society. When basic needs clash with health, something is fundamentally broken. It’s a tragedy that decent people are forced into such dire situations. We need to do better for our communities. It's a societal one. #social_justice #economy #healthcare
