The Live Much Better Benefits
From Boston’s Chinese-American newspaper Sampan:
A new immigrated Chinese woman with two children age 8 and 10 lost her husband a few months ago. She worked part-time job with meager income. The income barely covers rent and food. She sought assistance with the program at Asian American Civic Association. With the help from program staff, she filed an application for food stamp and public housing too.
Within a few weeks, she received $298 worth of food stamp benefits. This benefits helped her and her family to live much better.
The American Dream sure has a different meaning for ‘65ers than it did for Ellis Islanders.
