I've been on AISH for about a year and every month is the same, paid at the end of the month, pay bills, have 100~200$ leftover for food. I run out of money by the second week of the next month. Most of the time I have to borrow money from my family, it's such a sad state. It feels like the government of Alberta just wants AISH recipients to go homeless or get so far into debt they have to declare bankruptcy. I literally can't have a social life, I can't afford anything so I'm stuck at home starving and alone.

I am my son's full time cargiver while being handicapped and on AISH and every month we are struggling and use the food bank and have no savings or a way to move if we needed to. AISH workers have denied a damage deposit, utility deposits, moving allowances and more while ignoring my calls as we almost became homeless. Handicapped people are being treated like 2nd class citizens while new comers who abuse the system are given food, shelter, furniture and much more in benefits than disabled citizens of Canada. For shame.

As a AISH person, the monthly $1,588 is WAY to low. We are equalified to the being homeless if missue one check. I'm tired of eating unnamed food; or even not even not even having enough $$ to buy food. ( I can only afford around $$ 60.00 a month ). No $$ for clothes; some medical supplies' medication's/ surgeries that are not covered
