Whisper is a social network where men and women can express their deepest feelings anonymously. Below, people talk about what it's like to receive government assistance: the hard grind of poverty, the fear of being judged, the shame of having to rely on others. But there's something else as well: resilience in the face of hardship, and a belief that things will get better.
