Please pray that this united states government can get past this shutdown. Everyone whose well-being depends on the supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) won't get the benefits they've already qualified for this month. Women and children will go without. The president is refusing to fix it UNLESS he is allowed to take away HEALTHCARE from those who desperately need it. Please Mother Mary, our Blessed Advocate, help us as a country to return to some hope that there will be love, charity and mercy for us. We are desperate.
