As a disabled person, that doesn't even clear $1200/month, $500 would of been very helpful, but I didn't get it either. Some of yall really need to step back & think before you speak. Smh so much hate in these comments. I'm fully disabled, it's not a choice I just made one day. I didn't choose to have to live off the government bc trust me, it's not enough to barely survive. I also get ssdi, not ssi so I get $ off what I paid in. We get a "raise" for cost of living every year, my raise was all of $35/month & they took $20 in food stamps. I hope none of yall with the hateful mouths ever need help. Some of yall act like being on any kinda assistance is so glamorous. 🙄🤦♀️
If you get that much in monthly payment, take that money & leave the country! You could live very well on less than that at a month and have a better quality of life! Not sure why people think they have to stay in 🇺🇸 🤔
pretty sure they are asking for social security. I don’t think people crossing the borders has social security. The only people who get social security are cubans, and venezuela’s.
So you think illegals get benefits😂🤣 they need a social security to get benefits if you don’t know. If they have kids, yes their kids get benefits, not the parents.
@leoking5917 Covid funding came from federal income taxes. Middle America pays for both ends, always. And now the world population can use Harris couty gold card just by walking cross the border. Houstonians have to pay for that too. That's why middle class is dying out...
I think this is real sad. I’m a single mom and I work 6 days a week and it’s still hard, and I wasn’t approve either. The areas they had the uplifted was not right. They should’ve let everyone apply and everybody needs it now. SMH
Thank you for the opportunity to want to help.. It would have been a huge help for my family to receive this money but we didn’t, so I’ll continue to provide for my family.. no problem.. it’s the life I had before this application and it’s the one I’ll have after the application, my story isn’t sadder than anyone else’s.. we all have a struggle.. we learn from them and continue to grow from it.. let’s not be bitter about the outcome.. no one is obligated to give us anything and our lives are how we make them.. if you struggle to much, stop and pick your battles.. God bless you all..
That's why so many people are making a good decision and are deciding not to fight Life anymore, and letting their souls be free. This world has too many miseries and too much toil.
@@geraldboykin6159 I deliver to new construction job sites and guess who’s working there? If you guessed the illegal immigrants you got it right. Im not for an open border, but these companies keep hiring these folks that cross over here. They’re the ones cleaning your tables and washing dishes at the restaurants we eat at. Majority of Americans wouldn’t last a week doing these type of jobs, especially for the 💰some make. I’m not for my tax money going towards anyone that’s able to get a job.
How is $500 gonna help people? That's not that much money. Most of us make that in day or two or less. Because groceries, electricity, and everything else already went up more than $500.
If someone makes 1,300.00 a month on disability and their rent is 1,000.00, electric bill 100.00, medicine 125.00, toiletries 40.00 and clothes soap and dish soap 30.00. That basically leaves nothing. 500.00 for some people is a lot. However, Ms Rosie here is sitting at a computer able to roll herself around in a chair and can speak just fine should apply to work as a 311 operator or Metro customer service phone operator. She can clearly work.
What happens when the free money runs out!!!! Find a better way to help people that is fair accross the board. Politicians get a brain quit giving away money. Social security is going to run out of money as well as other programs!
I agree rent, food, n everything else is very expensive. Housing is taking more than half of earned income. It's hard for everyone. The low income earners n the poor are really suffering.
I’m going to say this. I’m happy for you if you got it but I know people in a better position than me that got in. After working since 17 and in my 40’s now, going to the military, to be in the position I am in now and to see how thing are going is crazy
Hypocrites!. Liars, thieving hypocrites..Rosy I can’t even get. Physical therapy for a hip!!. let alone replacement!! Work all my life! And raise my children. Without any government handout…. Work two jobs minimum wage! And sleep 3 to 4 hours a day…. This business of hand outs… has to stop.. the people that need it. Can’t get it because of the abuse… 🤬🤬🤬.
I know exactly what she means I was denied too and if I could’ve gotten it I would’ve bought beams for under my house ever since hurricane Harvey they have rotted out because the water stood up under the house and they laid in water all that time but people with hurricane Harvey they said we do not pay for foundation problems then Sheila Jackson Lee gave OSHA money for foundations but excluded Harris County so my 500 would have went on buying new beams for under my house because it is falling down
They gave it to all the Spanish and illegal immigrants... The wives do not work but the husbands work will the wife gets free assistance for their kids all 50 of them ... Housing food ECT
They cleary specified that it was like lottery! Not everyone applying was going to receive the money. Plus if she can seat in front a computer maybe she can apply for a work from home job? Thanks GOD working from home is another option to earn income. Instead of focus in what we cannt do...maybe we should focus in what we can do to earn some money. This is a different subject but I wish the city can provide a center where elderly and disable people can learn job skills so we can work from home. It could be good for our mental health, self esteem and economy. A median age neighbor had a stroke a year ago. After the stroke she has no mobility on her right arm and has not full strengh on her right leg. She uses a walker. She felt so bad and helpless at the beginning. However, she has been learning to do almost everything with her left hand!! ,(not driving unfortunately) Having a disability doesn't necessarily mean we cannt work. Of course it depends on what kind of disability. Best wishes people❤ lets try hard to be self providers. Government provides way too little & not enough to cover all our daily expenses unfortunately.
