I live in a run down shack in North Central Florida.
If I had the standard of living and the money of an ISKCON sannaysi, I would would feel like a jet-set Playboy.

Hari OM:
sorry to hear your plight, but are you forced to live like that or you had choosen it voluntarily, if you are forced , then i would just like to say, poverty is not THE worst thing as it is being made to look .
[As per the vedas the worst suffering a human can get is death of his child, second is mental derangment of his child,....while poverty comes somewhere in the bottom of the list]
BTW i had read "run down shack" in many stories, but don't know what is it, is it some kind of a hut?
