Systems that cover up abuse through deception, coercion, or abuse of power mimic the perpetrator and re-victimize the victim. Many lives have been sacrificed on the altar of secrecy for the sake of the church or the mission.

I have been on SNAP. It kept me from going hungry many times when I had mental health crises.

The people who need help are not the problem.
