I hate those charges … It would be better to use the money help people fix their teeth.

I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked, earned money and was independent at 18.

There are other systems that could provide a similar benefit for less money per mile.

There is always a need for more money so we can help people. The money raised goes into a general fund. We also receive money from the VFW, the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, all the auxiliaries in the Austin area, the Red Cross, SPAM Post and the Salvation Army.

Even though the moratorium ends, energy assistance runs through May 31, or until we run out of money.

I really want to help people who are hurt. And if I do that, I feel that my money is well-spent,
