| 14. Food Stamps helped me go back to college and get my degree. |
|
I was laid off from work several years ago and decided to go back and finish my degree. I have two kids and would not have been able to get my degree with out that help. Now 5 years with a degree and a good job, I'm sure I have repaid my food stamp help multiple times..
