The System

Hi, my name is Manny. Let me give you a little outlook of how I see things. Are you a single mother, and have applied for government assistance and got denied? Or even had to do paper work over and over because your info got lost? It is frustrating right? I believe that people who really need help, who have a child or children, who can not pay bills, have nothing to eat, and have no babysitter, should have priority over someone who lives with 6-7 others, has some food, and has a sitter to watch their child or children to look for a job. I believe it is not fair, and action needs to be taken. I am curious what you all think. Feel free to leave a comment.

Karla! So great to here from you! I wish you and your beautiful family happiness in Mexico, now that you have returned there. Be patient, and know that it will take time to readjust... but if you ever come back to the US, I'll be here! Miss you! :)

I agree with you.I had my daughter at really young age and I tried to get assistance and also got denied they said I made 20 dollars over the limit.It is very frustrating I think there should be something done about how they figure out if you qualify or not.
