There’s not enough money for me to survive. I have rent, utilities, food, gas. Right now, I’m tapped out. I don’t have any food.
“I get some disability, but I’m waiting for the rest of it to come in. There’s not enough money for me to survive. I have rent, utilities, food, gas. Right now, I’m tapped out. I don’t have any food. When I was in the Army, I got hurt. Fifty years later, my disability pay is finally catching up. I had to hire an agency to help. I’m going through sleep apnea, lung problems, trauma, arthritis, back pain, all that stuff. My refrigerator is empty. The EBT is $50 a month for a grown man. They say that’s the best they can give me because I’m getting Social Security and a veteran’s pension. That’s still no money. I’ve been canvassing food banks. I lived on the street for years, so I know how to survive, but with my condition and my age, it’s not the same. I’m really glad this is happening here.”
