She lived on the streets, but she did not beg for money. She was holding a note in her hand and asking people to read it. After 16 years, someone stopped and read the note. Then everything changed. Here\u2019s what it says on paper\u2026.<\/p>\n

A woman who is 80 years old, has a touching story to tell to the world, but not without a happy end.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been 16 years since Wanda Ritter last slept in her own bed at home. Everyone thought she was crazy, but she kept on saying that \u201cthe government owed her $100,000 dollars\u201d and she
\nkept saying it every day. With her she had a suitcase full of documents and unpaid checks, but no one paid attention. Everyone though she is just another lunatic\u2026<\/p>\n

Wanda was a locksmith and a mother to four children. On the streets of Washington, she kept saying that the Social Security System owes her a lot of cash.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI was crazy to get rid of the luggage,\u201d according to them. \u201cI told myself that if I did something stupid, people would think I was crazy.\u201d She elaborated.<\/p>\n

But everything changed when Julie Turner, a 56 years old social worker, heard her story and picked an interest on her case. When she checked the papers she shook her head in disbelief.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe needed money assistance, not with mental health assistance.\u201d Turner pointed out that she\u2019s owed the government $100,000.<\/p>\n

However, how did the woman comprehend the issue?<\/p>\n

Wanda started getting checks from $300-$900 each month. The woman didn\u2019t cash the checks because she thought something was wrong with them, so she returned them, but Ritter called Social<\/p>\n

Security Services to check the deviation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had collected them and claimed that a mistake had been made, who would have believed me?\u201d Ritter told the the local reporters that she believes once she gets the case under control she could resolve it.<\/p>\n

With the assistance of the godsend worker Julie Turner, Ritter got a $500 apartment.<\/p>\n

A week after the news went viral, Ritter got her first $1,644 check from Social Security.<\/p>\n
