I have been through a lot these last ten or more years. In 2013 I was injured from a job related accident. I went through many trials in that time and found that the system wasn't set up for someone in my position!
When my finances were almost gone, I reached out to social services for snap (food stamps) benifits only to be told that I needed to get rid of any property, stocks & bonds before they would give me asistance and if I need food to go to the food pantry in my city! I found that the local pantry had absolutely nothing but bagels, rolls, and pastries, which is not healthy for a hungry person! I finally exhausted all my finances and social services aproved me and I started receiving snap (food stamps).
While I was going through all of this I relized that the system was flaud! I started having dream of a better system where no one will be hungry. As the paralegal and I were filling out SSD benefits application in the summer of 2015 I told her about the idea which she liked.
Then I went through social services housing, as I navigated that system the dreams came like waves flooding my mind. In the summer of 2018 I Was awarded SSD and bought myself a used suv and before I got kicked out in November 2018, On my last full day in the shelter I closed on a home, Upstate New York. I spent one night sleeping in my car and I've been a resident of Oneida County New York ever since.
I spent pain free time (Which wasn't much) researching the idea to bring it to life. When the pandemic hit I was mad that I hadn't finished my research. Now In 2024 After finding my Co-Founders we are ready to end hunger forever! I have the plan, it's elaborate but foolproof. With your help It will work!
