I am surprised at the government; with such understanding, concern, and helpfulness under these circumstances and under such stress as the Representatives and presidential staff are under to try and keep some sort of calmness to the American public, is in itself a great deal of comfort. I have a different sort of understanding and view of any of the government officials. I give them a HIGH FIVE, there is a great deal more confidence I have in them!

I’d almost given up on any assistance.
It was never clear to anyone who receive benefits would be separated into so many catagories.
The CARES act was as they said , trying to give lowest incomes access early, it’s been 8 weeks of anxiety.
Although monthly benefits still are regular, groceries and other things are skyrocketing..
I need to make a home repair that has had to wait.
I am greatful , and will be using funds wisely.
