I am writing this letter for some kind of help for the people out of work or ones that are just not making enough to survive. My daughter works very hard cleaning for a living. She has no medical insurance of any kind. She only makes $1,300.00 a month and that is not clear. She had a room mate sharing the expenses but the person took off leaving her with a $900.00 electric bill and rent payment. She tried to get food stamps and they said because of her wages they could only give her $16.00 a month for food. What could anyone buy with that? Her front tooth broke off and she is walking around with that. She is so embarrassed about that. What does a person have to do, quit their job and have children out of wed lock to get help in this country. She is trying so hard and works every day but can't live on those wages. Her electric is going to be shut off. Social Services would not help her with this either. She pays $650.00 for a small apartment and she has to pay her car insurance, which she only can afford collision. I can't help her because I retired due to an accident and my husband lost his job 2 yrs ago and can't find another. He was making 6 figures and now only get social security. We were not financially ready to retire yet. So we are struggling also. What is happening to our country? Someone better do something or I am afraid of what may happen to our people. We can only take so much. GET US BACK TO WORK ,LOWER THE GAS PRICES OR FIND A WAY TO HELP US. NOT THE ONES THAT DON'T HAVE CITIZENSHIP OR WE WILL VOTE ALL OF YOU OUT OF OFFICE. PETITIONS ARE GOING OUT. (There are much more out of work than what is being reported. All the people not collecting unemployment are not being counted. They are forgotten ones.)
