So...I am losing my food stamps next month...
After being unemployed for 4+ years, attending their classes to find a job and not finding one, they are pulling my food stamps unless I attend more classes. I would do that except I no longer have a vehicle and walking 11 miles to the office is too much for my lyme arthritis and no one wants to shuttle me back and forth. They have their own lives and own troubles. I am at my wit's end. Sorry...just needed to unload.

Covers a lot in such a short tale of woe.

If you were to post your area there might be a DUer who would help you out, if you were close to me I probably could occasionally, although I have to borrow a car I do have access to one from time to time.

Things are bad in this country, but if you are incapacitated there's probably some help you can receive.

You can talk to your church pastor or priest too. There is help out there.

Call Keef.

Oh wait...

According to my caseworker, it's not her problem I have no ride. Some of those folks are really rude. I used to work Missouri Job and Family Services several years ago and I always felt for the people that came in. Compassion seems to be lacking of late in many places.

Sure you did. Compassion and reference to a unionized state position shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

check around. Locally, we have a senior center which will give rides to folks. It's primarily for seniors, but for $2.00, I can call and get a ride anywhere locally if I really need it.

It's called DialARide here. Perhaps they have something similar there?

Check with your local food banks and churches. They usually know all the local helping hand organizations.

Contact the Las Vegas Leviathan. He can offer some insight to dial-a-ride.

Looks like there isn't much of a food security network in Camden, though the Higher Heights Church of God operates a food pantry:

http://www.sharedharvest.org/get-help/?county=preble

Pantry - Camden

Name: Higher Heights Church of God
Address: 8111 US. 127 N.
Camden, OH 45311
Contact Person: Jerrelyn Sawyers
Phone Number: (937) 452-3600
Website: None
Days/Hours Operation: Tue: 3:00p -5:00p, Fri: 9:00a -11:00a

Also, OH participates in TEFAP, and that might be worth looking at, along with anything else on this page that would apply to you:

http://jfs.ohio.gov/ofam/foodstamps.stm

Wish I could do more. Best of luck.


How about that. The DUmmies have finally found a reason to go to a church.

As soon as I saw unemployed for 4+ years I lost any compassion I may have had.

Good luck with that. Maybe they can pray to Gaia, and Gaia can direct them to a caring, compassionate community of pagans that is as charitable and full of good works as a Christian church.

I am going to go out on a limb (a very short one, mind you) and guess that you voted demoshit because they told you Romney/Ryan were going to take away your sit-on-your-ass entitlements as soon as they were sworn in.  Did I get it right, DUmbass?  Don't answer, I already know what you are going to say...

Anyway, had you used the tiniest bit of God given intelligence and your internet connection for something other than bitching on DU, you would have discovered that Romney/Ryan were more interested in trying to save these programs instead of getting rid of them.  Since you voted for the Kenyan marxist, you get what you get and obinga is no longer interested in a worthless eater since you have cast your vote.

Sucks to be you, stupid.  I hope you die in the cold for your selfishness.

I am going to get a little more into the technical details.

Quote
Treatment of Lyme arthritis.
Steere AC, Levin RE, Molloy PJ, Kalish RA, Abraham JH 3rd, Liu NY, Schmid CH.
Source
New England Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To test treatment regimens for Lyme arthritis.

METHODS:
Patients were randomly assigned to treatment with doxycycline or amoxicillin plus probenecid for 30 days. Patients who had persistent arthritis for at least 3 months after treatment with oral antibiotics or parenteral penicillin were given intravenous ceftriaxone for 2 weeks.

RESULTS:
Eighteen of the 20 patients treated with doxycycline and 16 of the 18 patients who completed the amoxicillin regimen had resolution of the arthritis within 1-3 months after study entry. However, neuroborreliosis later developed in 5 patients, 4 of whom had received the amoxicillin regimen. Of 16 patients (2 from the oral antibiotic study and 14 additional patients) who had persistent arthritis despite previous oral antibiotics or parenteral penicillin, none had resolution of the arthritis within 3 months after ceftriaxone therapy. The HLA-DR4 specificity and OspA reactivity were associated with a lack of response.

CONCLUSION:
Lyme arthritis can usually be treated successfully with oral antibiotics, but patients may still develop neuroborreliosis. Patients with certain genetic and immune markers may have persistent arthritis despite treatment with oral or intravenous antibiotics.

So Recursion has had this problem for 4 years?

Just saying...

What, there's a DUmmie who isn't already on SSDI or some other form of disability payment?!?  Though actually, the DUmmie didn't actually say that the food stamps were all the financial aid it had coming in, and they love to lie by omission even more than they love lying outright...

Compassion wanes when your problem is no longer unique. Obama has put some many people on food stamps that your just another recipient in a sea of recipients.
