To the future President, My name is Ella Z. Bekker. I've been here in this country for 30 years. I'm full of gratitude for the blessings that this country shared with me. I was happy to bring to this country my skills as a teacher and expertise in foreign language education. It's been almost 6 years since I retired. Now as I am going on 71, I found that I have to go back to the workforce because my moderate income and modest savings are being depleated in a hurry. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that a few years later I will simply have to ask for food stamps. And it deprives me of the joy of the golden years of my retirement because I constantly worry and count whether I can afford to buy some food or not- and very often I can't. I'm open to all suggestions that you have.
