The job I lost Copper brazing welding

What it's like being unemployed

It's so hard to be unemployed. I pray every night I can find a job but it's so hard because there are no jobs here in Michigan so I depend on Unemployment. If they don't give an extension, then I will lose my house. My family and I have nowhere to go. The only income I get is unemployment. I try to apply at jobs, but I never hear back from anyone, so I'm begging that they give an extension.

Advice

I really hope they pass the extension for Unemployment this year or I will lose everything I have, like my house and my family. I have a 5 year old son that I need to care for. I just had my heat shut off and we were without heat for 6 days until I came up with money to get it turned back on. There are no jobs here in Michigan or anywhere. Thousands of people will hurt for money if this does not get passed so please have a heart and pass this so people like me can keep a roof over there family's heads. Thanks. God bless.

If ever you needed convincing that your fight has meaning, then the above cry for help should be it.
