NC EBT system Sucks!

I hate the idea of being on EBT. I grew up on it and every other year or two, I find I need it just to get by for a few months. I do everything I can to avoid needing it.

I find myself needing the service again. My truck hasn't ran in over 2 years, I've been working from home (editing and processing school photos) and taking care of my ill patents (whom I do not plan to put as dependants). I've barely earned $300 in the last 3 months due to just how few customers we're getting. The economy is shot and no one is purchasing photos like they use to. Ironically, 2020 was our best financial year.

I have bills to pay, medicine to order, and still have to pay for delivery fees. Because I can't afford to have my truck looked at, let alone repaired. But North Carolina's SNAP/ePASS system is easily the worst it's ever been! Their online system keeps giving me the runaround! And I can't get anyone on the phone! They're not returning my messages. And I don't have a printer to print out and mail the application. I'm at a lost!

I'm sick of living off roman noodles, eggs, and bread. I'm already out of eggs, with only 2 left out of a 4 dozen box. And one loaf of bread in the freezer. I don't have kids, so I can't apply for temporary relief. And I've already received more than enough help from my church and the few relatives I have. I'm at my wits end! I look after my parents, who have limited medicaid, so they always come first. But I'm now running out of ways to feed them! That Is Not Acceptable!

What am I to do?
