I would say we were a poor family because we really don't have a lot of money at all. Acton just signed a stay-at-home order for all Ohioans. In time of war, we have to make sacrifices. I don't know any other way to describe this but to say that we are at war. You have to go back to the 1918 influenza epidemic. My fellow Ohioans, we have not faced an enemy like we are facing today in 102 years. I guess that’s something that's all coming down the pipeline, but as of right now we're at a standstill with knowing what's going to happen. If we're not allowed to work then that means I can't complete my hours, so maybe my assistance could get shut down.
Long-term, I don’t know how that’s going to change, and the virus could very well change that. I am still required to work my hours for my assistance that I’m getting. I don't know, there's still any chance that she could still get the virus. Even their cars-they could have coughed or something and it could have gotten on the car. If I had my choice, I probably wouldn't want my mom working because there's still a chance of her getting sick from contact with other people. OK, we gotcha.You guys have a wonderful day. She goes up to people's cars and puts the food box in the trunk. OK, we have Evner and Edding for right here. They have to do something called "curbside pickup." My mom, she does still work, which kind of scares me. The grocery stores are running out of supplies and stuff, like toilet paper, bread, meats-I don't know, a few things. My mom stretches the money that she gets to last out the whole month, but some things I can’t get that I want. So I take $885 times 12 equals $10,620 for three. What I get is $485 per month and I get approximately $400 in food stamp assistance.
Growing up poor in america free#
They give out free food, free clothes to other people.
She works at a place called the Salvation Army. Thank you for calling the Salvation Army. Working off hours are basically hours that I'm assigned to be eligible for my benefits. Right now I am getting assistance until I get back into the workforce. So she has other money to buy-pay for other things, like clothes, shoes and that type of stuff. That helps us out a lot because she only has to pay one or two bills. She couldn’t really get a job because when she'd stand or something, her feet would get swollen.īecause of the fact that I couldn’t keep working, I do get benefits right now. I’ve always worked, up until I found out I had a kidney disease and was told by my doctor that they didn’t want me to work. The reason we moved into a trailer is because it’s something that she can afford. The walls, you can-they're really thin and so you can hear a lot of things. This is my first time living in a trailer. There’s not enough room in the house for my brother to stay, so he lives with my grandparents and he comes down to visit as much as he can.
I live in a trailer with my mom and my sister, Dior. spray the curtain and the rod and we’re good. Sure, I’ll let you take over after I spray this stuff in here and you can. I don’t like cleaning, but, I mean, it’s a "have to do" thing, really. We use disinfecting wipes to wipe down the knobs, the light switches and a lot of things that we touch a lot. We’re trying our best to not have it come in here. I know it’s really dangerous, potentially deadly, probably. My name is Shawn, I’m 13 and I live in The Plains, Ohio.Ĭoronavirus scares me. Now that he’s made that decision, what exactly is this three-week break going to look like? Well that really depends on where your kid goes to school. We have to do everything that we can to slow down the spread of this virus.
governor ordering schools K through 12 to go on an extended spring break. Now the governor of Ohio ordered all schools in the state to close for three weeks.
