A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

That's me except that I'm not in a poor neighborhood (firmly lower middle to regular middle class).
I've been poor, I've been hungry. Now that I'm not broke, I donate to causes and I buy food for anyone begging outside a grocery/convenience store. No one should be hungry for more than a few hours. No one should have to worry if they can buy diapers for their baby or food for their pet.
