Provided she's doing the right thing and trying to better herself. Although I will never like the idea of cash assistance or food stamps. Both are misused. I'd prefer food stamps cover only milk, bread, eggs, meat, vegetables. Not twinkies, ding dongs, donuts, potato chips. You want the sugary and fattening stuff? Get off the GOvt teet and provide them for yourself.
I'm sorry, the Government is NOT in the business of re-training people who've made poor choices. You make some poor choices growing up, and suddenly find yourself with 3 dependents and no way to care for them...tough shit, time to start scrubbing toilets and washing dishes. I'd suggest applying for some scholarships to the local community college or online school.
