STREET BEAT: ‘Does social service assistance help or hinder recipients?’

Regina Kline

“It didn’t help or hinder. There really needs to be assistance for women who don’t have kids because they do get discriminated against.”

“It didn’t hinder me. My kids’ father went to prison and I had two kids to feed. I had to do, what I had to do.  Everybody needs a helping hand sometimes.” 

Kimberly Waters

“I think assistance from social services helps people. They can help those who are in foster care and people with disabilities.”

Randy Campbell

Oklahoma City

“Social services can work for you. Sometimes we sleep on the things we should not sleep on. … We have to hold people to a higher standard.”
