The days may be a long way behind her now, but J.K. Rowling knows what it’s like to be poor.
She’s spoken about her former situation before in interviews.
“I was as poor as it’s possible to be in this country,” she told the Daily Mail back in 2013. “I was a single parent.”
It’s perhaps not too surprising, then, that she clearly has a large amount of empathy for people going through something similar.
On Thursday, Matt Burke from Tallahassee, Florida, sent the following tweet to the Harry Potter author.

Doubt you’ll come across this or read this piece, but I just wanted to say thanks for the assist. 🙏🏻https://t.co/hkX0q5HSCX— Matt Burke (@mattburkephoto) June 7, 2018 Read more…
