Apply for food stamps and Medicaid first. If you have a disability, apply online now — because it can take up to 3 years after denials and appeals.

I have to move in with relatives that cannot afford me and talk about depression. I don't know that I will be able to survive this. If I attempt to rob a bank, at least I'll have meals and a place to live. There is no American dream any longer.

No job and $2400 a month in child support, which I can't pay. Count me as part of the increase in suicide rate increasing. Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12929402470301108055noreply@blogger.com
