You should go to your Doctor first and get a letter stating why you cannot work. Then go to the welfare office. In Canada you can get disability benefits for welfare which is a higher amount of benefits than regular welfare.
In the US you need to apply for a disability payment through the Social Security Administration. Benefits will depend in part on how long you've worked. With welfare-to-work, many payments to parents are being phased out.
Also, to qualify for SSD you must have the required amount of work quarters. Those persons who do not qualify for SSD may be eligible for Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) which also enables a person to receive Medicare and/or Medicaid depending upon the individual's circumstances. The person will need to contact the state's department of family services to determine their eligibility for receiving state public assistance before applying with the SSA.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
