Pain points addressed
I'm afraid my SNAP benefits will be cut right before Thanksgiving and I won't be able to afford food.
After paying rent and utilities, I only have enough money left for noodles.
The cost of basic groceries like milk and bread keeps rising but my income doesn't.
I work for minimum wage and still can't afford an apartment.
I feel like the government takes care of other countries before taking care of its own citizens.
