Just yesterday, I completed an application for snap benefits. That’s all I wanted and needed assistance with. Because I’m a part-time worker, my finances at times get strapped because I’m paying off a loan from a bank and it makes my working budgets feel a little compressed. I need some breathing room here.

I hope I get them but I never intend to be on it forever, I just need some financial security and resource assurance. I’ve always tried being a person who looked to things like this and only go to them when I needed them, not because I wanted them and mooch off from them.

    As The Clash say in “Know Your Rights”:

    You have the right to food money
    Provided of course
    You don’t mind a little
    Investigation
    Humiliation
    And if you cross your fingers
    Rehabilitation
