My daughter is Autistic. So if I am not able to work y'all think she does not deserve to eat? I only get $16 a month in food stamps. My cell is provided by the state through assurance wireless. Cable is provided by the mobile home community I live in. Internet is provided by my wheel chair bound mother who had a heart attack 2 months ago. So neither of us are able to work due to medical problems and that makes us lazy and my child undeserving of free lunch or breakfast? I had to buy her school uniforms out of my grocery money at loaves and fishes. I have a metal plate and screws in my head from brain surgery that only removed part of the tumor. I don't have anyone to help me at all. I have to take care of a controlling old abusive woman in a wheel chair and a special needs child who freaks out when the wind blews. Don't lump everyone together who gets free lunch when you don't know who or what you are talking about. Atleast I don't use a man to take care of me. I take care of the three of us by myself. Take your snooty attitude to a shelter and see what is real before you point fingers. I am disabled with several medical conditions including a brain tumor. My daughter is Autistic.

People say,"I pay my taxes. I earned it." When everybody says that, the government goes into default,(debt). There are over 52% of the population is dependent on the government now. The other 48% are paying and struggling to make it. When I had my children, I did not use WIC. I fit in the income bracket too, but I refused. God can supply my needs. It seems now that it is the normal thing now for all mothers to get on WIC. Something has got to change..This system teaches one to be lazy, not work. Don't work, don't eat!!
