Pray You Never Have to Receive Government Assistance

My poor daughter (and she is very poor) receives assistance from the state, because she has nine children and no husband and a severe medical problem. You would not believe the hoops she has to go through to update these programs. As her teenagers turn 18, what she and the children receives is severely affected. Today, she was in their offices from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. while ten people came in after her and got waited on first. The bureaucracy is one thing. Wishing you didn’t have to rely on the state is another.
