The waitlist is sooooo long. I know a couple of kids in Worcester who have been waiting for over a year. There’s a lot of need for big brothers - and it’s a perfect volunteering opportunity for college students. Play basketball, video games, help with math homework…there are kids in Worcester who don’t have older siblings or parents with spare time to do these things with them. I was a big sister in Boston, sometimes I spent a little money on a treat or special outing, but mostly all you have to give is your time and attention. It really does mean is everything to them.

As a cook, I can tell you it’s because it’s not safe to eat ground meat that is left too pink on the inside, although some will accept it upon requests but it’s up to the head chef/manager normally. When a restaurant asks if you want ‘pink or no pink’ & you chose pink, they cook it to a medium at the least. I’m not trying to be pretentious or anything either just wanted to let you know why!! I’m guessing The Fix finally had a sick case or something and because of this had to stop taking requests for low temp burgers.

WHY ME

About Why Me Why Me is a grass roots non-profit organization dedicated to providing love and support services to families with childhood cancer. Created and run in part by parents that lived this experience first-hand, the dedicated staff and volunteers understand what families with a pediatric cancer patient need and are passionate about services provided. Our support begins the moment your child is diagnosed and is available throughout every step of your child’s treatment and beyond. Based in Worcester, Massachusetts, Why Me is the vision of thirteen year old Sherry Shepherd, and the promise by those who loved her to keep her dream alive.

This one means a lot to me they sent my cousin to the Red Sox training camp when he was battling leukemia up to the day he died it was one of his favorite memories.

coats, cumberland farms gift card (coffee and hot foods are good you cant buy them on ebt) socks, toiletries avoid mouthwash with alcohol, hitting up the dollar store is a good idea for these items like the socks and tooth brushes and stuff, never a bad idea to make a med kit for them if you can

If I had to guess, probably something to do with how burgers will continue to cook for a while after resting for too long, and with delivery they'd get too many complaints of burgers being overdone because of the delivery times and being in a confined box like that. So now they probably just say that so people can expect most of the pink to be gone by the time it gets there. I'd be genuinely surprised if it was hockey puck status though

This is a wonderful and productive use of social media! Completely changed my mind on something. I was going to take $250 from my pay and buy more crypto assets but after reading this post, I will be buying $250 worth of warm clothing from Savers and passing it out to those in need.

It’s a form for immigrants, not undocumented migrants. You do know people can be a legal immigrant right?

From the pdf:

  1. Do I have to be a U.S. citizen to apply for public and subsidized housing? No, you do not have to be a United States citizen to apply for public or subsidized housing. Lawful permanent residents and many other immigrants may apply for all types of government housing. If your entire family is undocumented, you will not be eligible for certain federal programs. In addition, for certain federal housing programs, if some but not all of your household members are citizens or have certain types of recognized immigration status, your portion of the rent will be higher than it otherwise would be. This may result in a rent that you cannot afford and make it unwise for you to apply for those programs. See Questions 9 and 10.
