Hello. I just lost all my favorites on my computer and found this forum while trying to re-locate favorites. I would like to join you, for several reasons:
I have been on food stamps before, but am not at this time. (Full disclosure.)
I have also worked for the food stamps/welfare department for 20 years, been retired for 12.
I love to cook. I've been doing it seriously since I was 13, and I'm 71 now. Lots of recipes, lots of experience.
I like to save money--my husband and I raised 2 daughters. One was killed in a boating accident at age 42, almost 10 years ago. The other is 50, and has my only grandchild, who is 22, lives with a roommate in Buffalo NY, and just graduated from Univ. Buffalo in May. She is looking for a job now, and I am assisting in supporting her. Her mother is on SS disability, and her step-father is currently on Workman's Comp for work injury. My husband and I are both retired.
While I love sharing what I know already, I don't pretend to know everything, and I love trying new recipes.
Marcia (I live outside Buffalo NY in a small town on the Erie Canal.)

Name is Ses. From Carson. Lost everything and still feeling the pain of it all. Went from the perfect life to no life at all, but here I am. Have to be grateful not sleeping on street YET. Checking out the assistance sights to see if there is more than what is on the exterior. Thanks for the site and helping others.

You can access a lot of different resources on this forum. Have you applied for SNAP?

Hi...am Demetri, a homeless person in Los Angeles.
Have SNAP and GR...might be dead now without them. Certainly am interested in ANY ways to make them go further and/or what's available as a path to get off the street. This has proven so far to be a "rock and hard place" lifestyle.

I hear you Ses...you DO NOT want to find yourself on the street (as I am).
The key to exiting homelessness is INCOME. But it appears now that you need networking, to know people who can pave your way into a paying position. A person cannot JUST "go out and get a job". Employers now hold all of the cards and have now become VERY particular; a person needs to fit within certain favorable social demographics. OR be skilled as an entrepreneur.
