First off, thank you for taking the time to read my story and for all the help you have provided struggling folks. Blessings upon blessings to you and your loved ones. Seconly, I humbly submit to you my story. I was recently laid-off with no potential return to employment date. Unfortunately, the begining of the calendar year is a treachorous time in my trade unless you are on a longterm project. Doing the responsible thing, I filed for unemployment so thag I could keep money coming in while I pursued other opportunies and made inquiries about upcoming and ongoing projects. I was awarderded unemployment, $430.00 a week…a stark contrast to my earnings prior to, yet I was grateful for it nonetheless. However, after 3 weeks of receiving funds, my unemployment abruptly stopped. Days before this revelation, I submitted additional documentation to support my need for this emergency money to float me until I can return to work. Come to find out thqt paperwork will take 21-30 days to be received, reviewed, verified qnd processed before I can continue to get unemployment benefits that were granted to me. I am heartbroken…rent, groceries, gas, utilities, phone and internet all cost. The bright spot is that some work will be starting in late April but I have to make it that timeframe as well as transport myself to the job which will be out of State. I am ernestly asking for a hand up not a handout. Lastly, I pledge my personal vow is to once I get back on my feet, to begin giving through this very same vehicle that I am seeking aid through. I will pay it forward. In all sincerity, DeVaughn Johnson https://paypal.me/DAJ197997?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
