Caption: Christine McDonald sits with her 5-year-old son Richard Simons in their one-bedroom apartment on Sunday, March 4, 2012, in St. Charles. McDonald, who is blind, is banned for life from being eligible for food stamps in Missouri because she has drug felonies on her record. She lost her job in December. "I don't want a handout, I want to work. I want a job, I want to live in a safe neighborhood, and I want to pay rent," she said of her situation.
