Kudos to this incredible young man. Having become indigent for several years when my ex-husbands wealthy family paid all his legal fees in repeatedly suing and pounding me into poverty, I can honestly speak from experience as a mother of 3 children who suffered in poverty during those years it is absolutely OUTRAGEUS that any child in America is NOT served lunch. I am extremely lucky I "made it," but my children and I have NEVER forgotten those days. Every time I see a story like this i just shake. There should be absolutely no social order associated with school lunches anywhere in this country. ALL school lunches in America should be offered at NO CHARGE as part of our school curriculum. I would GLADLY support tax increases to cover the costs of a nationally required program to feed, at no charge, all children in our schools for lunch. And in a balanced program, children can still be make "choices"--green beans or peas, chicken, eat or fish--they choose-- white milk, chocolate milk, what kind of juice, Jello , pudding or graham crackers as a light desert, etc etc etc--so the child fees like he can have some individuality while the school maintains variety would be great. None of us cannot expect a hungry, impoverished child to learn anything while operating on an empty stomach--or while being ridiculed because the child has to present a voucher or the as*hole "cashier" loudly turns the child away for an overdrawn account or lack of funds. In this day and age the fact this has still not been addressed is beyond my comprehension:

I don't understand the point of #foundations like the Archwell Foundation that solicit donations to make #grants to other #nonprofits. They're just middlemen friction in the system. To me, the point of setting up a foundation is to endow it with your money or a company's money. #fundraising #grantwriting

Clearly, I missed the memo that Walk for Justice is a "black pant" affair. I'm very proud of how much was raised by the Wallmans Lawyers team and all participants in the Walk for Justice 2024. With budgets getting tighter for so many of us, it isn’t always easy to donate to charitable causes and it isn’t always easy to see that your donation is being used. I want to share a brief anecdote to demonstrate how the staggering $160,182 raised by Walk for Justice will have real benefits for the community. I'm currently involved in proceedings in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia against three self-represented litigants who are ineligible for legal aid in their home state of WA because the proceedings were commenced in the SA registry. Thankfully, the hard-working solicitors of JusticeNet SA's self-representation assistance service offer their services to anyone involved in eligible Court proceedings in SA regardless of where the self-represented litigant is, provided their other eligibility criteria are met. It isn’t an abstraction to say that everyone involved in Walk for Justice has helped ensure that service was available to those three self-represented litigants and will continue to be available in future. Every $1 donated to JusticeNetSA provides approximately $10 of free legal work to vulnerable people. That’s more than $1.6 million of free legal work provided just because of Walk for Justice 2024. That is thousands of hours of free legal assistance offered to people like the self-reps in my matter who otherwise would be doing it alone. Access to justice isn’t only a lofty ideal, it is something we can (and do) help provide which reduces Court delays, saves everyone costs and strengthens the very integrity of our legal system. We should all be very proud of that
