    my name is Amanda griffin, 587-37-4150 662-347-1264 iamaflowerchild2121@gmail.com I am from Washington county . My case ended the end of October and I rescheduled Dec 15 because I dropped two applications off at my county office and this is the second time this has happened this year that they lost my application so I done one online and still had to call Mrs Washington and Mrs Jones the supervisor over Mrs Smith after calling and calling for 2wks and no return call until today . Only to be told she can't do anything until jan 5th. We have struggled and been without food for sometime. I have no vehicle so getting to food banks is near impossible . Christmas is here and we won't be able to even eat dinner . Things have been really hard and having no help from my resources that I am supposed to look to for help treats me as if I am asking for a hand out or begging. I'm not worried about myself but my kids . We are near homeless bc things are so hard but to have to go to bed at night hungry and knowing ur worker makes u feel bad about doing everything needed if me and not getting from her what is in her job description is disheartening. I don't know who to turn to for this and I need emergency help but can't get it from my town , I thought someone in the main county could help me in directing me to fix this problem so that we can have food to eat. I am so sorry I had to reach out to u it bother u but u need help before the holidays we won't make it to Jan 5 I am truly out of options . Thank you from my family to you and Merry Christmas. God Bless Amanda
