I filled out a form,for temporary help,for families.I accidentally checked the wrong box,stating I was immagrant,with visa.I was approved,for help.When I realized what I done,& changed it to U.S. Citizen.Now Im denied.No offence intended,but if I had stated Im a gay illegal immagrant,I would have gotten every benefit,under our laws.Now,tell me our Government dont discriminate.
Barack Obama, US President; ------------------------------------
Mr.President,I have so many questions,& no answers.I dont understand if a man needs help,through any government operated program,he dont qualify,if he has no kids.We can get foodstamps,but if you dont have a home,how do you prepare you meals?How do you clean,orbuy clothes?How do you take care of youself? I am 50 years old.I have filled out job applications from South Carolina,to Tennessee,to,Florida.Anything from working on fishing boats,to loading docks.I have not recieved one response.Not even an enterview.Im living with my brother & his family.I dont know what to do.I tried filling out applications for govt.assistance,& it either cost to fill out the application,or Im turned away for the fact I have no kids.Mr.President,men are human too.I want to thank you,for you time,& concern,in this matter.You should visit a web-site called aidpage.com.Create an account,& look at all those people,in need of help,& they cant get any.It will almost make you ashamed to be an American.
Did you know,its ok if our Govt.discriminates,against us?Men,if you dont have any children,you will not qualify,for any govt.assistance,other than foodstamps.So,even though the economy isnt our fault,we are punnished,for others mistakes.I tried fillng out a application for a housing grant.That cost $30 I dont have,so I had to stop with that.America,WHAT A COUNTRY!
in response to jimmy160...I figuerd out that things happen,for a reason.We are all here,for a reason.And no amount of money,can buy friendship,or happiness.What makes people happy,is being who we are.We are not right,or wrong,we are different.I am sorry for your loss.Always remember,its ok to give out.But NEVER,EVER give up.OK? Any time you need to talk,I will listen.
in response to Sophie 17...Being unemployed,I cant help,the way I like to.But,I can listen,I know its not much.No,you didnt offend me.I know the feeling of losing a loved one.My wife,was my best friend.When we divorced,I didnt want to live anymore.It was like my entire life,had no meaning.I drank a fifth of vodka,& took about 15 sleeping pills.Needless to say,I couldnt even do that right.All I did was got sick as a dog.
Well,I would be alright,if I had something to do.I can paint,remodel kitchens,bath-rooms,install ice-makers,dish-washers,mow lawns,wash vehicles,any type of yard work.I cant understand why I cant find anything to do.
when my divorce was final,I wrote a poem,& mailed it to my exwife.I thought I would post it to see what others thought: On that specail day,you became my wife,a dream became reallity,& you changed my life.We said we would love each other,til death do us part.These words we said,came from our hearts,& I still mean it,even though we have part.Even though we are no longer togeather,I loved you then,& i will love you,FOREVER.These words we said,they were true,& I know there will never be another woman,not like you.Yes I will love you,til death do us part,these words I said,& they came from my heart.
The only person that keeps me going,is my nephew.Hes 8 years old,and he knows how to make you laugh,no matter how you feel.Other than that,I dont know.
I dont understand,but do you ever get the feeling,when you try to get help,no one is there? Wonder why that is? Or,if you apply for a job,knowing you have all the requirements,someone else gets the job?
I used to be able to help others & i enjoyed it.That is a feeling,you never forget,to be able to do the right thing.I have found,that the hardest thing to do is ask for help.I have always been able to do for others.Life happens,& its not always your fault.Its a bad feeling to know your world is falling apart,& theres nothing you can do about it.I do thank you,for being there,God bless YOU.
