4. More food stamps

The $24 a month isn't cutting it. I am not eating enough and have developed low blood sugar and lost a lot of weight.

I am spending a lot on prescribed over-the-counter items and they want receipts going back a year. I bought a lot of it on ebay and the receipts are gone along with the sellers.

I couldn't produce receipts going back a year so I got nothing more than the paltry $24.00 a month.

It sucks and yeah, I hear you. Elderly, disabled and living in poverty = very depressing situation.

We hang-in there some how. I hope I don't last for too long.

Take care.
