Lost...

[Jaward]

I am 59 yrs old and just lost my job. Unemployment was denied. I don't have any family or spouse to help me. I am also raising my 15 yr old granddaughter. I am scared that I am going to be homeless again. Yes again. I have worked so hard to regain a home, and all that goes with it. And here I am again. It is amazing that when you need help everyone disappears. I spend my time applying for jobs, and trying to get out of bed. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so lost, scared and unloved.

Why was welfare denied?

[Jaward in reply to deborah27]

It was unemployment that got denied because I was let go.

Ok, do you get help for raising your granddaughter? Is there any other help you can get?

[Jaward in reply to deborah27]

I don't get any help for raising her. Her parent's are both deadbeat. I am taking advantage of all resorces available in my area. It is just a scary situation.

Really is, do you have social services where you are? Sorry asking too many questions.

Wow, this is a tough situation. I would think there would be help out there for you in some form. Especially where you are raising your granddaughter. I'm sure you've looked into every possibility.How old are you? Any benefits our there based on your age?

I'm sorry you are going through this.

What a horrible place to be. My heart goes out to you. And I could only imagine that to have one friend say to you, “hey I heard you were going through a tough time would you like to come over for dinner tonight” would mean the world to you. I think the hardest part of loneliness is staying motivated. I think you can do it though!

Sorry to hear that, did they tell you Why you were let go? We're you Fired? That's usually the reason Why unemployment is denied? You say no one's around for the tough times, thats Not a surprise, then you know who your Real friends are? Are you getting assistance for your granddaughter? You should. I'll pray for you 🙏

You will get through this. I’d go to the local labor finders just to start getting some income while you find a more optimal job. I know it’s a stretch but maybe granddaughter can also get something part time on weekends to help short term? When I was 15 I worked at the movie theater....just an idea. Stay positive and the first step is just get out of the bed. Options WILL present themselves. 🤗

I am sorry that today you are overwhelmed by this. It can be a fierce whirlwind that refuses to let go. Do you belong to a church? Often they will help in crisis and can point you in the right direction to obtain a solid footing. Theres a program that's amazing it's called Celebrate Recovery. It's for anyone with a HURT..HABIT..OR HANGUP. That's all of us, right!!! It offers support....acceptance...and a program that works if we work it.

I wish you peace and hope. I will pray for you as I think of you throughout my day.
