People who are on Social Security income, what would you like others, who don't have to rely on it, to know?

I get 755 a month usd. nothing else. 150 of that goes to my bills, meds cell phone to wash clothes, fuel to the dr. the rest goes on rent/lights. Don't have anything left. Then I get 195 for foodstamps to feed 3 adults for 33 days by the second week we are out of food except for some chicken we ration out one piece of chicken for the remaining 2 weeks of the month, that is one piece of chicken a day nothing else. food banks give moldy bread, outdated canned foods and meat that is expired. it all basically goes in the trash when we get home. so I stopped going to the food bank.

I need eye surgery on my right eye and not sure if insurance will cover it, if not I will end up going blind in both eyes in the next few years. I already am blind in my right eye. I go on the 29th to see if insurance will cover the surgery. I have to live with two other people who have no income and support all of us on 755 a month. i hate living here and been trying to get my own place but can't. Then if I could get a job they will take 2 dollars out of every dollar I earn and then after a few months they will get rid of my disability and say I don't need it even if I am working part time for a few months then I lose everything. Even if I don't make enough after taxes to support myself.
