Gotta apply, Tomorrow, before I financially die, I got no money, no way to get any, Even to rub together I ain’t got two pennies… I don’t look forward to Christmas this year, Can’t give anything to anybody, not even cards, I fear, My rent behind, the electric as well, Everything is backed up; I am here to you tell… Yes I know I am again whining, Scared I am, everything is out, I don’t get much in the way of fine dining, But for now I have food, canned and frozen, My weight though seems to be slowly declining…

When I was younger I was a single mom of two divorced from a deadbeat dad who never helped out at all...and even though I had a fairly good job, working for a bank, I was $59.00 above the poverty line so didn't qualify for social assistance....I know what it's like to have not....I pray good things come to you, my friend...do what you have to....

Despite what so many of our Millionaire Congressmen say, these government programs are needed, especially now in our abysmal economy that they helped to create. So do what you have to do, Bro. I know lots of folks today who thought they would never need these programs, but today they are very grateful that they still exist.
