The only identification that one of my clients has is a court-ordered community service document. The doctor says he’s fit to work, so he can’t get Social Security. But he can’t get a job without a birth certificate, and he has no money to get a birth certificate. It’s a vicious cycle. I wish I could just give him $25 for the birth certificate, but I can’t, because then I’d have to give all my clients $25.
All I can do is help him the way I know best. I helped him apply for food stamps and he got them! I celebrate the small victories...that’s what keeps me going.
