wow , why would they give the job processing welfare applications to somebody who its obvious has so much contempt for the people they deal with every day?
Seems its always that way though. They find people who don't want to do a particular job and that is who they put doing it.
I have been a volunteer domestic violence advocate for several years. I found that utterly depressing after awhile and now am power of attorney for the elders without family in nursing homes.( Almost as depressing)
You should know that their is aid for dependent children. Which anybody can get
for 2 years if they have children under 18. During that two years they have to be attempting to go to school or work training. Yeah they can have another baby and extend the period. But thankfully not many really want to saddle them selves with another child, because eventually they will put them to work, even if its 20 hours a week cleaning toilets at the court house.
Aid for dependent children is just that,for families with children under 18 . They do not help adults without children
Adults without children have to be really chronic ill or a severe drugie or booze swiller to get social security. Social security disability , which just like most insurance companies has the motto to deny, deny , deny and hope the people go away. or die before they ever get approved. Your friend would need to apply to this program and she'd be healed before she ever got approved. i have seen numerous people die of cancer trying to get social security disability without ever getting approved. They do seem to approve drug addicts the mentally ill and whino's though pretty quick , go figure.:dunno:
Maybe it would be a good thing to remember that except for the grace of God, we could be in that same situation.
That is why I volunteer, I try to do something for others in appreciation of the fact my life is pretty darn good. thank you God
