From Fox 4:
59-year-old Ramona Rakestraw said she has relied on Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, as her sole source of income while battling kidney disease and cancer. She tells FOX 4 that her payments stopped in October after she was told her immigration status was under review.
Rakestraw said she was born in 1966 at Parkland Hospital in Dallas [where JFK was taken after being shot] and has never lived outside Dallas County nor has she traveled outside the United States.
Kidney disease first sent Rakestraw to dialysis at age 28.
She later received a transplant, but about 30 years later she returned to dialysis and received a cancer diagnosis in 2024. …
Rakestraw said she took her identification and birth certificate to her local Social Security office in an effort to resolve the issue.
"That’s my income, my whole income," she said. …
Rakestraw said she has filed an appeal and completed the required paperwork. …
And now the problem has been solved. It only took the involvement of a TV station.
