For the elderly,usa sex videos living at home alone can be difficult to say the least. Just getting the meals they need can be a struggle, and for many, Meals on Wheels has been the answer.
So when Trump's budget proposal released Thursday threatened to slash all federal funding for the program, a whole lot of Americans were outraged. And they acted on that outrage.

Jenny Bertolette, vice president of communications at Meals on Wheels, said it saw "an almost 500 percent jump in volunteer sign-ups" through their website AmericaLetsDoLunch.org.
The mass goodwill came after a social media storm of backlash.

Homebound elderly people who may otherwise have to live in a nursing home are especially helped by the program. 2.4 million seniors -- including half a million veterans -- have received a total of 217 million meals through the program. It's received $517 million in federal funding through the Older Americans Act, which supports social and nutritional services for Americans over the age of 60.
But all that would end under Trump's proposal.

She told The Washington Postthat while some details around the budget cuts are not totally definitive, it's clear that funding cuts will happen regardless.
And that means programs like Meals on Wheels won't get the government support that's helped them survive for years.
“We realize it is unclear what the president’s proposal means for nutrition and aging programs,” Foreman said in an email to the Post. “The overall proposed funding cut of 17.9 percent for HHS, which includes the Older Americans Act funding for aging programs, is concerning.”
