Has Social Assistance Helped You Get Back on Your Feet?
Social assistance is a sensitive topic. Some people think that this is a necessary part of the solution to the problem of poverty; others think that this is primarily what makes our economy weak. But we’re not here to debate. We just want to know: if you used government aid, did it really help you?
We want to hear the opinions of people who have used social assistance or are using it now. The program doesn’t matter. This could be unemployment, food assistance, medical assistance, etc. We are only interested in your experience. Tell us a little about why you needed it, why it helped, or why it didn’t. Has it changed your financial situation in the long term?
We just want to know about the experience with these types of programs. So tell us: if you did use social assistance, did it help you get back on your feet?
