(3,732 posts)despite having homelessness hanging over her and having to find a new place and having to deal with a lawsuit and having to deal with all those social programs and trying to raise money every which way she could. "Since February" is actually not doing too badly on the normal score of how long people remain unemployed. I believe she has actually been employed a couple months but was unable to save enough to move for first/last/deposit.
And she did take a picture of her dog. That "old" picture you are talking about. But you demand a newer picture.
As for verification, I asked Omaha Steve to do that after he expressed skepticism. He called her and changed his mind. But his changing his mind was not enough to change your mind.
Then some other people who talked to her began to speak out on her behalf. Those people don't constitute "verification" either on your behalf.
Once again, those monthly calls for money are called "rent". TTW ran out of resources and Pennsylvania offered nothing to help her with her rent (that I saw). TTW attempted to stay where she was by filing a lawsuit over slum conditions. This backfired because that meant she had to put some rent in escrow or something: some lawyer posted to explain it, but apparently Pennsylvania law sucks and is against the tenant on that. TTW used the money collected here for that escrow account to avoid immediate eviction. She still didn't have the money to move. Yet your complaint is she came back "every month".
It's called rent.
TTW needed the money to move. If she had been able to collect a HUG GoFundMe up front like some people, she wouldn't have had to keep coming back. But that didn't happen. She was coming up short and begging everyone she knew every month. Luckily a friend bailed her out last month.
It's bad enough that Clinton dismantled "welfare as we know it" so people have no government resources anymore. Now, when they are forced to panhandle, they are presumed to be scammers, and there is no "verification" that will ever be good enough. No one wants to see someone "keep coming back for money."
Yet there is rent every month. And no governments support for it.
