I grew up on welfare. That's from a baby on Detroits west side until I graduated high school. I didn’t understand its benefits until after I was a divorced single dad claiming only myself for food share and medical. I made bad decisions that I never thought I'd be humbled to think about. I was an alcoholic and i sobered up. Once I sobered up, I began seeing everything and everyone clearer than Ive ever been able to. I started changing my perspective on life and making greater decisions for my life and loved ones. I used snap as a trampoline and have made up my mind to never do anything that could personally lead me back to needing that support. I believe theres always churches, pantries, family and friends who can and will help if I ever needed a small boost. To need more than that would be psychologically demoralizing to me and my work ethic. I understand, I do not control other people. but I know I control my destiny and where I am going in life. I encourage everyone else to do the work necessary to find their own new perspectives on life and live them, one day at a time.✊🏾❤️💯 #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk
