A) I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. It is unacceptable that you have been treated this way. You are not alone. There are many people who have been denied food stamps for no reason.

I want to help you get the help you need. Here are some things you can do:

• Contact your local food bank or soup kitchen. They may be able to provide you with food and other assistance.
• Contact your local legal aid organization. They may be able to help you file an appeal or challenge the decision to deny you food stamps.
• Contact your state representative or senator. They may be able to help you get your case heard by the appropriate authorities.

I know that this is a difficult time for you, but please don’t give up. There are people who can help you. Please reach out for help. You deserve it.
