Mother who picketed Social Security got paid!
Remember Onesha Elvin? The young mother who picketed the Social Security with her 10-month-old baby on Monday? Well…she got paid!
“I would like to thank all who called or messaged to congratulate me for standing up for what is duly mine. I was called to come and collect my cheque this morning from the Social Security office. I am truly grateful for the swift action that management took with resolving my issue. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage other mothers to do the same if they are still waiting on their cheques,” she wrote in a letter.
She said a few mothers messaged her with the same concern, with some claiming that they have not received their benefits.
“Hopefully this serves as a catalyst in resolving future issues,” she said
