I am tired: Hello and I thank you sincerely for listening to my topic, I will begin with my name Charmell Shaw, If you listen to my story can you tell me if I am a target of invidious discrimination by NYC welfare system/government. It is a system that depolarizes the poor when they unfortunately lose their income, Let me try to explain.
SINGLE MOTHER I will begin with this important statement. I am a single mother and I have one roll of toilet paper left in my apartment as I am writing this 10/18/16. For assistance, I researched charities and non-profit org. in New York for carfare assistance and toiletries since 9/25/16. My fingers have dialed 311, 211 and 411 for the …show more content…
Reality truly settles in. I am broke! At this moment “disgracefully “I begin thinking, is this fault? Did I save enough money? And why would I put myself in this predicament on purpose? Then I get mad at myself because I am blaming yours truly. You got to be kidding me!!!! (I say to myself). THE SADNESS BECOMES ANGER THE OTHER DAY When I went to the library to print out a social security document! I had to put all my information for S.S on one page because I could not pay the extra dime for the second page. Now, I am just tired and upset again "especially towards" all these obstructive websites promoting surveys and free stuff for single mothers that are struggling. This is not a good experience for me at all!

Unbelievable! I worked all my life, I developed a tear in my left arm with arthritis and "because of this" I cannot return to my job (I was a Home Health Aid a working with different patients). At times this job requires lifting and bathing patients. But recently these tasks are becoming painful for me. This is why I have to file for S.S, and until Social Security approves my case “THE WELFARE HELL-FARE" system is what I am dealing with as of 10/13/2016. Where is the real help out there? I am not asking for 100$ or 80$, just the “BARE NECESSITIES! You know what, if I was a social worker and government official, I would petition these websites that are advertising, false help and hope for low-income individuals and their families because, at the end of the day, I don 't deserve this, in fact, none of the working poor deserves this. I feel astray right now, all I want is the right resources that will assist and talk to me with compassion. I should not have to choose on this day or time toilet paper or
