10. Hugs for all of you...
:hug:

I'm so sorry that anyone, in this wealthy nation of ours, has to exist in such a way.

I'm not disabled, but I have experienced poverty, and all the crap one must go through to get little, if any, help.

The whole thing just sickens me; I especially can't stand people who bitch all the time about "welfare recipients" sitting on their asses, and getting paid to have babies. Stories of fraud get blown out of proportion, so everyone thinks it's rampant. People just don't have a friggin' clue.

I wish everyone in this country (especially congressmen and the president) would be required to live off $790 for one month, just to get a little taste of what it's like. Maybe it would open some eyes.

I work from home for an on line tutoring service; they require tutors to have at least a bachelor's degree, or be currently enrolled in a four-year university. If you meet these qualifications and are interested in tutoring kids from 4th grade through college in math, English, science, social studies, etc. let me know, and I'll send you the info for applying. It's not a lot, but any extra money helps, as I'm sure you know.

My prayers are with you all
