Sorry to Write a Lengthy Review But Wanted to write a meaningful Review and A phone call was not Sufficient At all for the purpose I wished to Voice.
Hello, I used to receive wic benefits in West Virginia, but now I have moved to Near East Hartford Ct and was wondering if I could Sign up for the online Wic Lessons and also be evaluated for Benefits for my child still under the age of Five. Again to be a better parent when it comes to how to handle diverse situations. Also, I believe that Wic benefits should be still provided or Extended to Struggling Families with Low incomes Especially if the mothers are working and/or have disabilities or handicaps of Any Kind or stay at Home Moms Too with Children who need extra Medical Care Because Living Expenses are so High When Childcare Expenses Are so High. This Benefit should not only Go to Military Families Only because Employment is Low and Families Nationwide are unable to Provide Healthy Food or Meals to Their Families, they should also go into consideration for EBT benefits. Otherwise Military families will end up Arguing and Fighting with Families for who do not have military Backgrounds. This is an advocacy Request for Some Better Peace and Fairness in the world Because I feel so Defeated from Dealing With Mental Illness As A Disabled Parent. This all In All Inquiry Will Improve the Healthy Lives Hopefully for many Families I Support.
