Anything that can help combat this right now is good. Many people are struggling with the pandemic and are turning to substances to help them cope. Not all are good for you.

It saddens me to see people get addicted to drugs, I am glad that I listened and never tried them.

I suspect the need for this kind of grant is paramount during these pandemic times.
