I am a single mother of 3 with no help. Not knowing if I can pay rent or feed my family next week is hard and all that’s on my mind this day of Christmas when I should be happy. My kids feel my anxiety too 😔 #ShutdownStories

Hi there, I'm an editor at USA TODAY. Could I speak to you for a moment about your situation with the shutdown?

How about the parents whose children were raped and killed by illegal immigrants, did you worry about them? Probably not. Collect unemployment and when you get repaid repay unemployment.

Your argument makes no sense. You are just a sad angry person!

From one fed family to another, we are thinking of you and yours.

Thank you

So you think the company/individual doesn't know about the shutdown? Your first POSSIBLE miss is 1/1/2019. You should have already been on the phone to whomever you pay rent to. Then to the local church. Instead, you tweet (so you can afford the electronics) and complain.

I remember...the best Christmas I had! My mother, single and she was only able to buy my gifts at Walgreens. I got a camera, lime green hair dryer and curling iron and a chia pet. I didn't find out where she bought it all until I was an adult. It didn't matter to me. I loved it!

I too am worried about where we go from here ...I just pray that they can come to an agreement so we can all go back to work #shutdownstories
