quote:


Ashleigh Ligon, a mother of six living in Federal Way, Washington
Ligon’s household is already marked by the chaos of a large family—her six children include two sets of twins—and the hard work of staying afloat in a society that is not overly accommodating to people with disabilities. She and her husband are both disabled, her adult son has a disability, and her 7-year-old son has severe allergies.



What's not mentioned is that Lingon...
quote:

Ashleigh is a mom of six, a certified lactation counselor, childbirth educator, doula, and parent advocate for No Kid Hungry.

And a hard core left wing advocate... good thing she doesn't need a job...

quote:

She went back to school when her twins were less than two years old and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s in Marketing and Entrepreneurship!


We paid for her to go to school so she can advocate?

She has babies, and runs an NGO...



quote:

Ligon’s disability makes it difficult for her to stand for long periods to wait in line. But even after she got to the front of the line, she could not take some of the donated food items because of her son’s severe allergies.


To note, this unnamed disability is not disabling enough to run around to advocacy gatherings and have children.
quote:


“I definitely had to eat differently. My children had to eat differently,” said Ligon. “We’ve just been really careful, because there was no way we would get through November [without SNAP benefits].”


Unless she... got a job... with her masters degree...

Government Aid should be for those unable to work, not unwilling to work.

They had trust that the gravy train would run forever.

Work requirements need to be made strict.
Else we will pay for "disabled" democratic advocates of socialism helping themselves to our tax dollars.

I guess she ended up turning that education into a successful grift, at least.

She'd have never learned the psychology of marketing manipulation with a degree in gender studies. And if people are stupid enough to actually support her, an old adage about a fool and his money comes to mind.

Thats truth right there.

It's amazing how people like her can't do several different things....like stand, work....

But they are always 100 percent able to go when it comes to sex or eating food. They never have a debilitating food or sex allergy.

Bingo, sex and eating. You nailed it.

I wonder how much weed her and husband smoke each day.

Apparently, working is for suckers.

So, she can no longer trust SNAP? Does that mean she is about to start working a second gig to feed herself and her spawn?

People who bitch about the number of vets who are disabled may or may not have a point. However, until every single disabled person on welfare is really, truly vetted for being truly disabled they need to stfu.

This pisses me off so much. These jackasses just act like rabbits in a field.

There's plenty of people who are truly messed up that sometimes fall through the cracks but this liar is somehow eligible.

There will be a reckoning soon. In her house are pictures of Stalin, Mao, and Lenin. These disability programs, when absolutely needed, are wonderful. But these disability programs have become the 12 lane toll road for resource allocation according to need.

People are getting paid big bucks to create new disabilities.

quote:

A child under age 18 may have a disability, but we don't need to consider the child's disability when deciding if they are eligible for benefits as a dependent. The child's benefits normally stop at age 18 unless they are a full-time elementary or high school student until age 19 or have a qualifying disability


quote:

Listing of Impairments - Childhood Listings (Part B)
The following sections contain medical criteria that apply only to the evaluation of impairments in children under age 18.


quote:

112.00 Mental Disorders - Childhood
112.06 Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders (see 112.00B5), for children age 3 to attainment of age 18, satisfied by A and B, or A and C:

Medical documentation of the requirements of paragraph 1, 2, 3, or 4:
Anxiety disorder, characterized by one or more of the following:
Restlessness;
Easily fatigued;
Difficulty concentrating;
Irritability;
Muscle tension; or
Sleep disturbance.
Panic disorder or agoraphobia, characterized by one or both:
Panic attacks followed by a persistent concern or worry about additional panic attacks or their consequences; or
Disproportionate fear or anxiety about at least two different situations (for example, using public transportation, being in a crowd, being in a line, being outside of your home, being in open spaces).
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, characterized by one or both:
Involuntary, time-consuming preoccupation with intrusive, unwanted thoughts; or;
Repetitive behaviors that appear aimed at reducing anxiety.
Excessive fear or anxiety concerning separation from those to whom you are attached.
AND

Extreme limitation of one, or marked limitation of two, of the following areas of mental functioning (see 112.00F):
Understand, remember, or apply information (see 112.00E1).
Interact with others (see 112.00E2).
Concentrate, persist, or maintain pace (see 112.00E3).
Adapt or manage oneself (see 112.00E4).



Pretty sure 99% of children in America could be coached into that...

It amazes me these articles pick the most stereotypical lazy pieces of shite on welfare to try to garner sympathy.

You’d think they’d find some widowed woman with 4 kids who was a stay at home mom whose husband was killed in a car wreck and she had no degree and lost their home and can barely make ends meet. The fact they cannot find a story like this tells me the only people on these welfare programs are fat, lazy, irresponsible grifting pieces of shite
