Mary Barbee, Destoni, Tahhi, & Maidest Dillon, San Jose
Maidest: Help is much needed, and the process it takes to use these programs should geared toward helping, NOT discouraging, Americans in need. Please help our fellow Americans end homelessness.
Mary: Currently I am homeless and disabled. I have spent the last five months searching the system for help. The foundations that claim to be helping send people like me through a barrage of paperwork only to say there is nothing they can do to help. The agencies that really try to help have limited funds available. This leaves the majority of people in the same situation where they started, or even worse. The family members that want to help and are receiving assistance cannot do so because they are afraid of losing their own assistance. So tell me what I am to do. Please give this issue your prompt attention. We need HELP. What are you going to do about it!!!?
