Hello. My name is Deirdre and I live in Alberta, Canada. Things in my home have gotten bad for those who live in poverty. I know this time of year grocery prices always go up so I shop with that in mind during less expensive months by buying in bulk food and goods that are either non-perishable or easily frozen. This year the economy has gotten so much worse and my normal squirrelling habits aren't enough to get me through. I realize there's a lot of people in my situation so I'm not asking for much and this is literally for groceries and anything that I make over the target will go to my local food bank. I know things are tight for everyone but if you can help I'd really appreciate it.
