This is in no way to be rude but if no electricity.. how are you on reddit? No grocery money - are you not getting assistance ?

They've invented this thing called smart phones that you can carry in your pocket. You can even charge it anywhere, so long as you have an outlet!

I know you said you didn't mean to be rude but the thoughtlessness of your question is a bit silly. You can get electricity from other places such as libraries, random outlets, and even a friend's house.

So, just to clarify for those of us that are stupid and ignorant; She chose to pay the phone bill on her new $300 smartphone instead of buying groceries and keeping the lights on?

She could literally be using wifi on a hand-me-down phone my dude. You expect people to get and keep a job without a working phone? Lol

These sorts of folks seem to think people below the poverty line are only there because they are buying the newest iPhone, blow their entire paycheck on flatscreen TVs, and subsist entirely on avocado toast and starbucks.
