    I have, it took a few weeks, I know it’s not instant… better than just giving up and not even trying tho, no? Even if it’s only a couple hundred a month.

    I know some people do not have anywhere or anyone to turn to, I tried to mention that in my original post… maybe most people are that alone.

      just giving up and not even trying tho

      When I needed that kind of help, it was pretty much inaccessible without navigating a complicated maze of forms and paperwork and unsympathetic bureaucratic officials, which are something I just can’t do when stressed, and I’m a fairly literate person.

      Maybe this is a state by state thing, but accessing welfare as a single able bodied adult where I live seems pretty unimaginable.
