I've finally found an office job after searching for an year. I'm so proud of myself. I've suffered greatly since Hurricane Harvey, my boyfriend and I lost everything and have been staying in an extended stay hotel. I'm so thankful that I can help my boyfriend pay bills now and we can finally leave this hotel and into a home again! Praise the Lord, God is so good!

Hi everyone im very new to this . But i moved here to Tallahassee florida 32301 . To go to college & better myself as a person . Though its been 3 weeks & still no job & i have a Ton of bills coming up . All the jobs want previous experience even at entry level positions! Ive tried temp services but they rarely have any work & places like CSL Plasma doesnt pay much after the first few times you have been there. I really hope the right person sees this i juss need a job very badly . Im willing to work my ass off whatever it may be. Im a fast learner & dedicated worker you won't regret it

I'm a felon, I have plenty of experience and I'm sick of being homeless I've got a daughter my girls has 4 kids and I got 2 boys in nv I'm willing to do anything but break the law to make this happen who can help

I'm currently homeless with a family and trying to find stable work to take care of them it's hard I believe that God go make away for us

I am currently working full-time, have student loans and bills to pay so I moved in with someone looking for a roommate. She is 60 yo& retired, too bad she didn't tell me she is an alcoholic. Her daughter told me basically she gets out of bed and opens a beer, drinks all day. I had told her I have allergies & do not smoke; she said she would smoke outside which she does not do. I pay rent & she eats my food, uses my laundry soap, dish soap, helps herself to other cleaning supplies of mine. I caught her trying to steal my cooking utensils. A couple of weeks ago she got mad at me because a friend of hers barely left enough room to park & she says I blocked him in. She texted me that I had to move out on the 13th to which I replied that my rent was paid until the 20th (actually the 23rd). The other day she had some drama, cops were called twice because she got into it with the neighbor. I went out to eat & came home to the chain on the door. I had to remove the chain from the outside but am afraid to leave because she will lock me out again. I know she can not live without a roommate & am tempted to make her evict me and drag it on for 2 months. I can not afford a place on my own at this time, car payment & student loans.

I was amazed that so many men were homeless with mental health issues that lived in that community. The experience of helping them to confront their issues and assisting them with something of some magnitude is beyond gradifying.

Looking for reasonable housing and CNA jobs please help.

A little over a month ago we were introduced to Steve and Alex. At the time they were living behind a convenience store. Steve was managing, but his dog Alex was not doing too well. I had posted their plight on Jobcase and with all the suggestions, advise and well wishes including valuable help on finding veterinary care for Alex, here is everything that has happened in the last month.

A wonderful veterinarian, who offered to provide all of her in house services for free, was able to bring Alex back to good health. Dr. Bethany was very kind, generous and thorough with the 6 visits it took to bring Alex back to good health.

I was able to help Steve get to his appointments with a local non-profit organization, Saint Vincent de Paul (previously refered to as SVP), who was able to provide him with much help consisting of everything from medical, and dental sevices to shelter, meals, clothing, treatment and counseling referal to name only some of all the great things that they do for the homeless and anyone who needs help and cannot afford it.

Yesterday I went to visit Steve and Alex whom I had not seen in about 2 1/2 weeks. They are living in a small studio apartment, attached to a home owned by an elderly couple. There is a big yard where Alex, who has gained four pounds is running and happily playing as a two year old dog should. He looks great!

Steve, whom I did not recognized until he grabbed me and gave me a big hug and called my name. I could not hold back tears as I, in disbelief saw a clean, shaved (what happened to all that facial hair?); well groomed, nicely dressed, handsome man standing before me.

Steve told me that this old couple offered the studio free of charge if he would agree to maintain the yard work. They would also pay the utilities. They love dogs, so Alex was a shoe in. Steve told me that the four of them got along great. He tells me that his parents abandoned him at a young age. This elderly couple, who doesn't have children of their own, treats him as a son, and he doesn't want to let them down. Steve let's me know that he has been sober for over two weeks and he is actively attending alchohol and substance treatment. He is also getting the counseling and continued support to slowly transition him back into society. He is determined to stay clean and wants to get a part time job sometimes in the near future.

I was able to stay and visit with Steve and even got to toss the ball with Alex a little, before the Phoenix heat drove us indoors. Before I left, Steve wanted me to be sure to tell everyone on Jobcase who were very kind to him and Alex ( I let him read all the Jobcase posts on my phone regarding him and Alex); how touched, blessed and thankful he is to everyone for all of their support, concern and love. He wants everyone to know that for the last 14 years of his life, it seemed that no one cares. Now he knows that that isn't so. He is renewed and determine to do something with the rest of his life, one day at a time...

It's the first time if I'm ever going to do something like this cuz I never knew that my love what hit rock bottom well it sure feels like it I was single parent who had given legal guardianship to my mother last year my mom was diagnosed with Stage 2 stomach cancer I decided to go back to school in May but come July 10th at 5: 30 a.

God bless

For 8 years I was a stay at home mom. I eventually got a job, not because I had to but because I wanted to. Then me and my ex split up and he bailed. Leaving me with numberous bills and 2 kids to raise. I had to leave my home because I couldn't afford it. I ended up moving in with my two kids into my now in-laws place. Where we have been for the last 3 years. It's been tough. My kids don't have bedrooms... Me and my husband are cramped into one room. I eventually got another job making better money but I ended up losing it. I had finally gotten myself a vehicle and it seemed as though things were looking up for me. Then I lost my job 4 months ago, and I lost my truck because I couldn't pay for it. Now I'm back at square one. I've have put in a ton of apps but Everytime I call about them they have either been filled, or I get told someone will get in touch with me. But no one has. I'm feeling like I'm letting my kids down. The fact that they don't have their own space is getting to all of us.

Any suggestions on what I can do to speed things up a bit? I do have a 4 bedroom house just waiting for me to move in. But there is a ton of work to be done on it. I'm completely overwhelmed and I'm about to give up. The only thing keeping me going is my kids. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you do to get out? I'm dying here! Help!
