A few months ago I was watching a Dateline special and it broke my heart hearing the stories of shame of people who needed help. While they were disguised to help not feel ashamed they went in and sought assistance for their families. There is no shame in asking for help. That’s why I do what I do…to help others. I can’t help if you don’t ask for it and others don’t know what you don’t tell them!
