I'm in no way saying addiction is a reason to collect welfare. but for a family who suffers from a parent who has been kicked out of the house because of it and struggles to make ends meet, with all the shit they (we) go through, shouldn't they deserve some kind of help? definitely not a free ride but just some help. every bit of income counts. thats why now i work 2 jobs to help my mom out.

and if anyone is wondering, i am not black, mexican, PR, ect... my mom is half black and my dad is white. i state this only because so many people have the image in their head that welfare is only given to blacks..ect..
