Why is it only Californians are getting support at this time?? Those not only struggling to make ends meet but also wanted to use this time to go after some bigger dreams however the dread of how they will pay their rent or feed their families is enough to paralyze them. They are our people out there with mental health disorders and the disease of addiction. I’m sure more of those affected have died during this period or taken their own lives than those dying from Covid -19 and I haven’t heard anyone advocating for them. They are desperate for support and connection.How can we let them know they are not forgotten? We see them. We know they are there and they are not alone. How can we include them in the relief plan??
