The Elderly and the Shutdown

I’m 72 and live alone, surviving on Social Security and SNAP. Yesterday my EBT card didn’t work, so I bought only a loaf of bread. The electric bill came too—I had to choose between light and dinner. Politicians argue on TV. I turn it off and pray the system works tomorrow. #SNAPLife #GovernmentShutdown #ElderlyLivesMatter #SurvivalReality
