Welfare Rescources and Success Stories?

Question

I need help finding resources for low income people or people who are on welfare. Do you know of any resources, particularly resources in the DC, MD, VA area? I'm also looking for welfare success stories.

Welfare Success Stories:

She's had many labels to describe her since her parents kicked her out of their comfortable middle-class home in southern California and onto the streets at age thirteen. Over the next fifteen years, Sallie Shows would come to be known as a street kid, a pregnant teenager, a crack cocaine addict, an unfit parent, and a welfare mother-of-six.

Today, amazingly, she is called a success story. The twenty-eight-year-old Mountain View, Calif., woman is a straight-A student who enrolled in Santa Clara University last fall.

"I don't believe in lifetime welfare -- that lay-on-the-couch-and-collect-the-money thing," says Shows, who graduated last year from Foothill College with honors and an associate's degree.

Answer 2

Maybe you could try taking out student loans, going to college, get a job so you don't depend on everyone else's hard work and STOP WASTING everyone's tax dollars.

Thanks.
