RNC Teenager Ashley Gunn - in speaking against govt help, illustrates its need!!! |
|
Apparently she's a student member of SAFE, an organization that takes "dilapidated or abandoned" properties, turns them over to students to renovate and "remodel", and then gives them to the urban poor.
She tells the story of a "Miss Hannah" who makes $1,500 A MONTH, and lives in a "2-bedroom shack" with 2 daughters who are mentally and physically disabled. 20 years ago, her 2 sons died within 2 months of each other - one drowned, the other died of a heart attack.
Overwhelmed, Ms Hannah's husband left the family, and she has been in dire straits ever since. Ms Gunn, a sing-songy voiced teenager, said that Ms. Gunn now pays less for her 3-bedroom 1-bath home than she did for her shack.
Isn't this a PRIME example of someone who actually DESERVES government help?!

2. You're right; why make her pay rent at all?! $1500 for 3 people is miserable |
