181: A Lesson In Welfare - My Own Story
I know what it is like to lie awake at night and worry about not having health care and health insurance for my babies. I know how hard it is to find good, dependable child care.
182: Why There Must Be Welfare Reform
Folks like me do not need more job training; we need jobs that will allow us to support our families with dignity. For people without skills on welfare, we also need more resources that would give them the language skills and the job training that they need.
