- Have you ever had air puddin'? Cordie Mathews has when there hasn't been enough food for both her and her great grandkids.
Cordie is a vibrant 73-year-old woman who always has a big smile on her face and makes sure she stops and says hello to every person she passes. She also receives food from one of Second Harvest's feeding partners, the Woodbury Pantry, for her and three great grandkids, and sometimes her neighbors to help make ends meet on their limited and fixed income.
Cordie represents many of the 16,000 Orange County seniors who face food insecurity. Find out how you can help people like Cordie never have to survive on "air puddin'" again at www.FeedHopeNow.org.
It’s so sad. I have elderly neighbors who are too proud to take a handout. I trick them and tell them I made too much dinner because of knowing only how to cook for a large family. I tell them do you want it or should I toss it out.
It gives them the upper hand to think they are helping me out.
Great idea. By letting them keep their dignity, they are more apt to accept food, even though they may suspect what you are doing.
Smart.
Seniors are limited to income because if health problems they can't work. Most receive around 1000 dollars a month and maybe 25 dollars in foodstamps. This are the people that came behind us worked and laborer to support the government, they deserve to be taken care of.
She ate air pudding so her kids would feel comfortable eating while she didn't..... This is why motherhood is so unique and amazing. Mothers form a *special* bond with the children they carry.
This is why women deserve to carry family name, because they carry life.
Motherhood is EVERYTHING.
Dear lady God Bless her
I am Muslim and our religion and God teaches me
Be blessfull be helpful for old people and children and helpless and sick people
I really like to help her
God bless you
I am one of 11 children and we were very poor we're all in our sixties and seventies now but what really caught me was the lady saying have you ever had air pudding we'd ask our Mom what's for dinner and she would say air pudding and I was a little girl and I didn't get it for a while I didn't understand what she meant by air pudding life is tough
Thank you for sharing your story. That is why we fight so hard against hunger in our community. It is definitely heartbreaking to hear about those who have to go without so their kids can eat. No one should have to go through that.
@@feedhopenow Thank You for feeding the hungry.
Keep helping people as much as you can not to be hungry!❣️🙏🙏💐🙋🕊
It’s truly nice to see people helping people. Nobody should ever go hungry in America!
Or any other country in the world.
I been cooking a lunch an sending to my 77 yrs old aunt who lives alone
😎💖 God bless all the good people. 💖🌻🌻🌻❤
I also get food and also do volunteer work at the food distribution center, I have been doing it for years starting when my son was little until now that COVID started cuz of my health, I will volunteer when it’s over again
My brother made sure that our Mom had plenty to eat.
Few people care about seniors.
Thank you 🙏
HEROS!
America is slowly decaying. Seniors should not have to through food shortages!!
A country that cannot feed it's population is on the fast track to the bottom!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Never heard of air pudding, so sad.
That lady is so Right if some P eoples with God, help some of Us older one well be lost , THANK GOD
I used to live in Orange County back in 1970. I don't remember seeing any homeless people. Everyone was employed, then the Liberals started to move in, and many of us left.
You mean many of the jobs with retirement/pension plans "left" America(outsourced) and went to other countries (e.g. China, Indonesia) due to Capitalist greed.
What does this have to do with liberals!!
@@ronberman8947 Absolutely nothing, he is just being ignorant.
@@ronberman8947 Is Orange County still conservative?
the major cause was actually the "trickle-down" nonsense that started with Reagan
Someone please give this sweet lady a haircut too
Why? Her hair looks lovely.
She has much more on her mind than a haircut.
She has lovely hair....not sure its something you get eating vegan.
I don't mean to be rude but I notice your comments on others videos and they are Pathetic af.
@@tl7239 thank you

If I was hungry I would eat a sandwich. Imagine being so senile and demented that you go hungry?
Poor old people have nobody to blame but themselves. They never took the time to get educated about finances. They are in survival mode now because they weren't in survival mode in their 20s and 30s. They didn't care.
I’m 82 years old and very very poor. You sound like a jackoff.
@@EL-kf8nq almost there Pops
In situation like this, we do need to learn how this happens in addition to helping.
Not always the case. Our whole world has been in decay for a few decades. And an old achy body on a walker can no longer work for money.
