Wow. I had no idea that you had that kind of background. It sounds ...stressful is too light a word for it. For me, it throws a new perspective in the ways that poverty can affect people. Whatever the cost, staying clean was maybe the only way to maintain some dignity.

It was all about maintaining dignity. I still think about that often when I donate to food banks and unhoused folks. I make sure I include personal care products in my donations.
