- Dr. Wilson gave his justification for the project, pointing out the widespread economic difficulties people confront.
“58 percent of registered voters are living paycheck to paycheck, according to a recent News Nation Poll.
Illinois and the nation’s household budgets are suffering due to skyrocketing inflation and soaring food and fuel costs.
According to him, individuals are becoming more and more dependent on credit cards and food pantries in order to pay for necessities like housing, food, healthcare, transportation, and taxes. “I am proud to partner with senior homes, grocery stores, and gas stations, to provide for our residents.”
