Is it because I do not cry, and I do not show my children holding empty plates and saying, “We are hungry,” that I do not deserve help?
Is it because I try to protect my children from seeing my weakness and pain, and refuse to turn their suffering into a way of seeking sympathy?
Is it because I endure my pain in silence and try to remain strong for them that I deserve help any less?
I am not hiding my suffering, but I refuse to show the world my children’s dignity broken just so people will believe that we are in need.
