Darkness Visible

I didn't have much money saved so I decided to apply for food stamps, but I was met with disdain and ultimately denied.

Imagine your in a situation where you practically begging for help from the government and they shut you down. Then I was having problems at home also, I was staying with my family and they was treating me worse than dog shit, I was so terrified to go home that I slept on my friend couch some days, hide out by my brother when he was at his girlfriend house and when that didn't work out I would go to the park and stay for hours and then sneak into the house.

I didn't understand why your own family in your time of need would treat you so abhorrent.

I went to apply for Public Assistance again and this time I applied in the HIV/AIDS division. They actually listed to me and was compassionate. I was successful with not only getting Food Stamps but with Cash Assistance. You wont believe how overjoyed I was!!

My employer blocked my Department of Labor application by contesting everything I said and now It would take months before I could get an outcome. But on the upside to that, Public Assistance assigned me a Case Manager and she informed me that I need to get out from where I'm living and they will help me pay my rent.
