Public Assitance...

Relying on public assistance did not make me a lazy ne'er do well. On the contrary, it provided my children with food as I cobbled together a place to live and a way to get a job that would support us. It took hard work on my part, but I could not have accomplished what I did without public assistance.

I did not exploit the system nor am I ashamed of having used the system. To this day I pay back what was given to me by volunteering to help people in my community.
