My 12 yr old mattress began to fall apart. But being on
#ODSP
barely gives me enough for rent & some food. My parents who are also struggling financially took $ out of their savings to buy me a new one. Iโm 30 & should be able to afford to buy my own mattress.

Wouldnโt it be easier to get rid of the provincial disability programs & make it a federal program? Every disabled Canadian gets a livable income. Thereโs no stress if you want to move to another province. Plus we donโt have to rely on shitty premiers. Thoughts?

In case anyone is wondering, a 5% raise is nothing to celebrate. We will still be living below the poverty line, unable to afford the basic things we need to survive. If the government truly cared theyโd raise it to a liveable income.
