@VermontDCF, on Monday, I am going to drive my uninspected car with a rust colored left front hub cap from the grinding brakes to Morrisville from Hardwick to bring you copies of pay stubs that were due yesterday, so you can "not cut us off" from food stamps, which you lowered...
@VermontDCF ... to Zero at the end of last year because my husband went to NY and picked up some work and that bumped us over some random and ridiculous ceiling for families that need EBT food assistance. You decided that what he made in NYC that short time was what he make every week....
@VermontDCF And that is NOT TRUE. I don't understand why you have done this to us. Nothing changed in our lives with him going to NYC. Nothing.

And now on the second month without food assistance, I am spending money on food rather than paying my electric bill....
@VermontDCF And fix the car? That isn't even on the radar. And soon I won't even be able to drive on the grinding brakes, and then I will have a dead car again.

I have a business. I should be employing ten people at least. But it's like pissing in the wind to try to get help with this...
@VermontDCF I spoke with Rural Dev people, I spoke with VC peeps, I spoke with local businesses. I tried. I can't speak with the Select Board because they gave my house away without telling us and shut off that avenue of help.

And now I will drive to Morrisville, show you some....
@VermontDCF pay stub, that won't make a difference on how you see my family or the seasonal/gig economy way that the jobs are.

Beg. Beg. Beg. Please don't cut us off. We won't make any more money than you allow.

Do you get how insane that is? One big disincentive....
@VermontDCF The only thing I knew in my life over the past 10 shitty years was that my kids wouldn't be hungry.

And I can't tell you how that helped my mental health issues.

Now it's, "Is there enough money to buy milk?" ....
@VermontDCF Yeah yeah... food banks.... yeah... yeah...

I know. Don't worry, I will seek them when I need them.

But don't give me this "social services are here to help people" line.

This is not helping.

I don't understand any of this. I am beginning to feel like my brain doesn't work as well as it used to. The stress is accelerating the feeling. Don't say I didn't tell you.
