Selling Food Stamps for Kids’ Shoes - COLORLINES
The story is more than a year old, but I thought it was relevant. It outlines the life of a woman, Eva Hernandez, who lives in Connecticut - Connecticut has the shortest welfare (TANF) time maximum in the country (24 months).
Eva details her life since she received her last TANF check - she now has to use food stamps to buy shoes and other non-food items for her kids. She normally works fast food jobs to get by (in conjunction with her TANF), but since the recession, even fast food jobs are hard to come by.
It is an interesting read, catch it here:
