Woman in Canada shares sad experience
In her TikTok video, she explained that she had in the past picked toys, shoes, and several other things that she or her kids needed at some point.
Her statement:
“I want to share one of my darkest moments in this country. This particular story is one of my deepest secrets, but I’m willing to share it with you guys today. Don’t judge me.
“If you judge me, my head will fight. I don’t know if I was the only one they told then, when we newly came into the country, that if you see anything on the grass—like toys or household appliances, it means you can pick them, that they’re free and people want to give them out.
“I came with little kids. I used to look out for toys; children need toys. The first time I picked up a toy, I stood there for 5 minutes just to be sure nobody was watching me.”
While previous attempts were successful, @naomibells.dynasty shared an experience she can’t forget due to the shame it made her feel.

In her statement, she explained that she once saw toys in front of a woman’s house and decided to ring the doorbell to ask if the toys were still in use or had been put out for giveaway. However, the woman’s response made her feel ashamed.
She explained:
“There was a day I was taking my son to school and I saw a scooter in the same spot, and I told my son I was going to get it for him. We grabbed the scooter.”
“On that fateful day, I was with my second child and my little baby. My second child was around 3 years old then. We came down from the bus very close to our house, and as we were walking, my son saw a set of toys and said, ‘Mummy, let’s get that.”
“The position of the toys was confusing. The way the house was facing, it wasn’t like a regular house. I wanted to be sure the toys were for giveaway. I stood there and looked at them, but I wasn’t sure, so I had to ring the bell of the house where the toys were placed. After some minutes, a woman came out.”
“I told her, ‘I’m sorry to bother you. I just wanted to confirm if these toys are for giveaway or if they’re still in use.”
“That day, shame caught me. The woman said, ‘Is that how you go around pressing people’s bells to beg for toys? Is that how you behave like scavengers?’ I was so ashamed of myself. That was the last time I picked toys.”
