Please ask our leaders to do more to help the too sick and/or disabled to work poor. Most if not all are living in extreme poverty since they government gives so little. These are people who would give anything to be able to work, but can't, not won't CAN'T.
Why is this important?
Yes, someone I care about lives on less than 800 dollars a month. She can't afford to pay rent and utilities and buy "luxuries" like soap and toilet paper or able to afford to do laundry. Many of the poor aren't dirty because they want to be. It cost money to stay clean. She goes hungry at least 1 week out of the month. She can't afford to buy the healthy foods she needs for her diabetes and heart problems. It's a life of pain, terror, misery and feeling degraded for those in America who are truly too sick, disabled, and/or too elderly to be able to work no matter how much they wish they could.
