12. Me, I'm just trying to survive. I'm old, very poor, and depressed. I have a real worry of becoming homeless.

For 33 years I've lived in a trailer which is now 56 years old and reaching the end of its life. I only have $1400/month in income, SS and a $200 annuity that ends this year. I have a 33 year old daughter who is mentally ill with schizoaffective disorder (schizophrenia and bipolar) who I have not seen in 2 years, haven't even been able to contact in over 6 months (she is in a mental healthcare facility). And hoping for a better 2025 I was betrayed by half of American voters who prefer a demented man as their president.

I am healthy though.
