We live unfortunately, with a government that doesn't want to help, only hurt. Good Lord if the number of people here living in RVs with their kids had CPS on their butts, there'd be absolutely no one able to get into the shelter,!! Some just don't know when to leave well enough alone! There's a program here that's sposed to be a transitional housing program for homeless families however they charge rent of like 400-500 and for some families that's just not doable!! Then there's all sorts of rules and expectations they place on the families that make it almost impossible to achieve independence. It just blows my mind!
Hi @luanne... I thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. If you would be interested, I would like you to be the person in charge of seeing what we can do here. I have reached out to @hickorymack and hopefully she is willing to work with us. You did a good thing by bringing it to all of our attention!
Thank you... and let me know what your thoughts are.
And thank you Dave for resteeming this one, I've done the same.
This lady sounds like a trooper and to me, is where our votes should be going.
I agree with you 100% Asher... And I'm glad you saw this one... I was alerted to it by @luanne and I've reached out to both of them to see if we can put together something to reach out to the steemit community at large. Your resteem and upvote is certainly awesome and I will keep you in the loop if we can move the ball forward!
Great stuff @luanne, and you also.
Good luck with the community plan and let me know if anything arises.
I will keep you in the loop and let you know how this situation turns out! Thanks for bringing it to another level, you are a truly great guy Asher :)
A pleasure to do my bit here, thank you and everyome else for raising the awareness too!
I think the first step that we can do is get her more connected so she can tell her stories and we can help her grow. She shows natural potential. I know others can help with big donations and connecting to legal institutions, but I think we can help her get to be a major contributor here and change her life (what a great role model she could be if she could succeed) ... Here is my article if you want to read it... (not for your upvote) but if you want to spread the news around since you have more reach than me.

Cheers and hope you have a great weekend Asher!
Hey @luanne! @davemccoy suggested that you and I get together to keep an eye out for @hickorymack.or just help her out if she needs it. I'm on Discord as lynncoyle1#4299. I will be in touch with here and will watch for your comments also. Cheers:)
I'll add you on discord @lynncoyle1 as it's hard finding you on this roll there are so many comments! Lol @davemccoy any news on the phone? I got a message from hickory early morning but was still asleep. I dunno if she looked into the program I info'd about yet or not. Will keep u posted
@luanne, somewhere I read @hickorymack say she was gifted a phone:)
