She was homeless, but she never begged for money. She had a note in her hand and was asking people to read it. Someone finally read the note after 16 years. Everything changed after that. On paper, this is what it says…. A woman in her eighties has a touching story to tell the world, but it does not end happily. Wanda Ritter hasn’t slept in her own bed at home in 16 years. Everyone thought she was insane, but she insisted on saying every day that “the government owed her $100,000 dollars.”
She had a suitcase full of documents and unpaid checks with her, but no one noticed. Everyone thought she was just another lunatic…Wanda was a mother of four children and a locksmith. On the streets of Washington, she insisted that the Social Security Administration owed her a large sum of money. According to them, “I was insane to get rid of the luggage.” “I told myself that if I did anything stupid, people would think I was insane,” she explained.

Everything changed, however, when Julie Turner, a 56-year-old social worker, heard her story and became interested in her case. She shook her head in disbelief as she examined the papers. “She needed financial assistance, not mental health assistance,” Turner said, noting that she owed the government $100,000. But how did the woman understand the situation?
Wanda began receiving checks ranging from $300 to $900 per month.
The woman did not cash the checks because she suspected something was wrong with them, so she returned them, but Ritter checked the deviation with Social Security Services. “Who would have believed me if I had collected them and claimed that a mistake had been made?” ” Ritter told local reporters that she believes she can solve the case once she gets it under control.
Ritter was able to secure a $500 apartment with the help of a miracle worker named Julie Turner. Ritter received her first $1,644 Social Security check a week after the story went viral.
