Me and my 15 year-old son rely on SNAP and very much need help. As you pointed out - I am one of the people with a disability. A brain injury I received while caring for my son as a stay-at-home mom, so no disability. 😞

This is eugenicist social policy.

It means they want disabled people to die. They want poor people to die. They want elderly people to die.

Starvation is murder, by policy and by design.

This is all on purpose.

And it is 100000% unnecessary.

Take care of each other.

SNAP benefits mean that the disabled people (and all others) using them have more autonomy, privacy, and dignity in choosing what to eat, without the paternalistic judgment of others deciding what's best for someone else. Or assuming what's needed.

Added costs of living with a disability are both
(1) Things that disabled people need that are specifically disability-related, like assistive technology, medication, or mobility aid
(2) Things that disabled people pay for because of how their disabilities manifest, like paid help or food delivery

Disabled people must spend more money to stay alive. On average, disabled people must earn 28-29% more to have the same standard of living as otherwise comparable nondisabled people. These added costs of living with a disability (the "crip tax" or "disability tax") show up in all parts of life.

Food apartheid is also particularly catastrophic for people who
* have mobility impairments that affect opening food
* are autistic or have ARFID that affects what foods are safe to eat
* have difficulty preparing their own food due to physical or mental disabilities
* cannot travel to a food bank

* strictly observe religious requirements like a Jain, halal, or kosher diet
* have Celiac or even non-Celiac gluten sensitivity
* have literally any severe or deathly allergies
* are vegan
* have high animal protein needs...

If you have extra money above what you need to take care of yourself and immediate kin, even if it's just $5, please consider giving directly to individual people.

Please consider donating to disabled people like me who are impacted by the November 2025 SNAP food stamps cuts directly, as we disproportionately have specific dietary issues not easily addressed by food banks and community outreach programs: paypal.me/molliekatie
Pay Mollie K Gathro using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/molliekatie and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Thanks very much for doing this.

We'll need help literally any time of day tomorrow -- so if you have 30 minutes available at some really weird time -- the answer is yes.
I'm tired of calling tortillas lunch, so $10 is also helpful! 💜
