Hi Friend,

 

It’s tough to feel like you can’t move, speak, or act the way you used to. Whether it’s due to old age or a disability, you or a family member may be unable to work and struggling to get by. But you shouldn’t have to do it alone.

There are government programs that give elderly folks and people with disabilities help paying for things like groceries, medicine, transportation, and other everyday needs. To find out if you or a loved one qualify for one of these programs, check out this quick and easy benefits check-up tool here.
