some progress on the scripting

windsor

From: stepmother’s email address
To: "'Jessica Murray'" <dfhldgdhdlhfdla@gmail.com>

How is it going? Are you all settled in? Do you like Windsor?

explaining the denial

mom
Did you get your mail yet? Have you heard anything from them at all? <3

Jessica Amber Murray
i didn't get anything in the mail, but i did get an email that rejected me both for first/last and moving costs, citing "budget cuts". i'll have to see if the city of windsor offers anything.

mom
That's weird! Tomorrow is Wednesday...I mailed that last Tuesday night....So, it would have gone out in the Wednesdays pick up. Hopefully it will be there by tomorrow? Does it take that long in the mail? Don got his phone fairly quickly... That really stinks about their stupid "budget cuts". I don't know what the hell they think one would do if they didn't have someone to help them out with moving costs!... I mean there are many people out there that would be really stuck!...What are they supposed to do??...I just don't understand at all.

Jessica Amber Murray
they're supposed to rely on their family rather than the state. that's the neo-conservative/neo-liberal paradigm.

mom
Yes, but what if they don't have a family to rely on? It is completely ridiculous!.... I wonder if you write a letter disagreeing with their decision, if it will make any difference. I think they tell you in a letter that if you disagree with their decision that you have a certain amount of time to put it in writing to them.

They used to anyways.

Jessica Amber Murray
well, if people don't have a family to rely on, then they clearly aren't following good, religious value systems.

mom
LOL

Jessica Amber Murray
this is an enraging argument that just goes around in circles. consider their position on abortion. they want to ban all access to abortion as immoral, but then they refuse to fund services for single mothers, teenagers, etc....arguing that if you have a child out of the proper systems of hierarchy then you should be punished for your sins.

mom
What if their family is so poor that they just can't help at all....Where is god to help those?

Jessica Amber Murray
clearly, god is punishing the poor for their sins.

mom
It really is so enraging and quite pathetic for sure!

Let me know when you get your mail....I hope it didn't get opened up!...Bloody mail system!

Jessica Amber Murray
did you put apartment 5 on it?

mom
No!...You didn't give me that one!

I just put the address that you gave me on it....Oh NO!....Will, you get it?

Jessica Amber Murray
ok, i'll try the post office tomorrow. i hope they didn't rts...

mom
I will re-mail it, if they did....I did put my return address on it.

But, I do think you can appeal disability's decision....They usually tell you this in a letter.

Jessica Amber Murray
they sent me an email. i'll ask tomorrow.

mom
I would fight them tooth and nail on this one!...The original receipts are in the letter.

Jessica Amber Murray
the thing is, though, that it seems like the entire program was cancelled, so i don't think there's even a body to appeal a decision to, or even a decision at all, really.

it's more like they said "we don't do this anymore".

mom
Well, when I went online to look at their site....They say they cover under certain circumstances...It could be they cover if one is moving for a job...But, that is just not fair at all!....I would check it out.

Some workers are very helpful, while others are just miserable...Hopefully you will get a helpful one down there.

Jessica Amber Murray
right. it does say that, but what the worker said was that it's only covered through the city. so, i didn't actually apply to anything through odsp. odsp no longer covers moving expenses. what i applied for was a program through the city. they denied it by saying that they don't cover costs to move outside the city. i'm worried that windsor may say they don't cover costs to move into they city. we'll find out.

mom
I have had both over the years....Thank-fully, I have a wonderful girl now!

Jessica Amber Murray
i believe the worker, who has been quite helpful. i'm more likely to blame the cuts on the current liberal government....

mom
Yes...The world is getting quite scary out there cause of them!....

The whole lot of them all!...I feel bad for people having children in this day and age....The future looks so bleak for everyone.

I am going to go and eat ice cream with hot fudge sauce on it now....Mmmmmm...Always makes me feel better!...lol

Your place looks great in your pics!....Are you pretty much all settled in now? Are you liking it down there? Miss You!...Even though, I hardly ever saw you in person here...At least I could, if I wanted to....Now, I can't! :'(

Nanny is spending more time in her apartment now...Leo, was upset at first, but is now accepting it.

Jessica Amber Murray
i still have a lot of stuff to do. i haven't even started on the studio yet.... i've spent so much time alone in my place; i haven't really explored the city, yet. it doesn't really seem a lot different than ottawa, though. it just seems a little cheaper. in all honesty, i spend so much time by myself that it doesn't really matter what city i'm in. you know?

mom
Yes, for sure, I understand. I really am very much a loner myself... I guess all cities are pretty much the same.
