I am running out of options at this time. I am 55 years old and live in Lake Elsinore, California. I “had” the perfect job, until the one person that I trusted, whom I worked with at Disneyland for almost 20 years, stabbed me in the back and I was wrongfully terminated in April of this year. She had created an extremely hostile work environment for me where I would have daily panic & anxiety attacks. When I would go home, I would sit in my car and cry for an hour. Since then, just trying to keep things positive isn’t all the best, and my health is deteriorating. I’m HIV+ which is a double-edged sword, since stress, panic attacks, anxiety and depression tend to affect it, and not in the best ways either. Since April, I have been looking for a new job daily. I spend my mornings and afternoons applying to jobs that I am qualified for, but being 55 doesn’t make things easier. Sure, we have the “Age Discrimination” Law, but in all seriousness, it DOES happen sadly. I either get the standard “canned” response, or you are either Over qualified or do not have enough experience. The best ones are, “we loved you, but we went with the internal candidate” but they don’t provide you with any feedback to help your chances next time. I have practically sold everything I own and by the end of this year, I will have no more money to my name. The money that I do have is paying for my utilities and rent for November and December. Then come January 2025, I will have $0! My unemployment runs out at the end of this week, and the last thing I want is to lose my house and have myself and my dog Chloe, who is my lifesaver, become homeless and on the streets. I don’t have any friends or family I can borrow from either. Trying to find a new job at my age is difficult to say the least. But if you can help out anyway, at least get me through the next few months (3-6 months), that should help, hopefully. Rent each month is $3,300.00 and utilities each month are $1,800.00.
