Imagine you forgot to pick up
your kid from school
Then you didn't wash them or feed them
They would eventually find a new home
A home where they are
looked after better.
Where they are treated with
respect and kindness.
They would flourish
in their new home.
And become the best versions
of themselves.
That's how your wasted dollars feel
Someone else is looking
after them better
