This is what happens when even Starbucks won't hire you...

 | |  |
| My unemployment ran out & I wasn't able to wrangle any work for the month of June & nothing so far in July. I managed to pay my rent for July, but nothing else. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| My home phone got turned off because I couldn't pay the bill - and I just received final disconnect notices for power & natural gas. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So for the first time in my life I went to the Community Assistance Program & asked if they would pay my power & gas bills. After completing a stack of paperwork they said they'd get back to me. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| After I left there, I went for another first. I went to the Dept of Social Services. The line was so long that they handed me a stack of paperwork & told me to come back tomorrow. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| They told me to get there very early and queue up *before* they open at 8:00am in order to be seen. Even then my wait will still be 4-6 hours. Oh and have all my paperwork ready. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Being unemployed & poor requires a lot of paperwork & waiting. | |
