In part 3 of this series, writer and editor Michael Jackson talks about the discriminatory treatment and policies as well as the barriers of getting support and resources based on what agencies visually see and how circumstances, people are categorized. Host K-DiD and Michael Jackson also discuss the idea of "deserving help."
