Concern: Employment

My shoe game

There were some new air maxes that I was trying to purchase, but due to the stores closing I’ll just have to wait until they reopen.

Store without production

There are less customers coming to my store and it’s hard for me to provide fore my family, people aren’t staying home and many are getting sick. My sister lost her job, We aren’t getting new products because of the shipping is refusing.

Corona Virus Impact

The corona virus has impacted my life by making it difficult to find daily essentials such as toilet paper,paper towels,cleaning supplies and etc. at local grocery stores.The corona virus has also affected me by not allowing me to travel and visit family,go to school or even go to the gym.

Before

Everyday I wake up before I go to work, I have to put on a mask and a pair of gloves. I now carry around hands sanitizer everywhere I go. I keep my distance around other people. This is different than before the virus arrived. I didn’t have to worry about things like this. It is scary.

where is the help?

A couple of months ago, I attended a Cost of Poverty simulation and it was very eye opening. Now with this virus impacting our way of life, it has become more difficult to access services. I feel that for many of our residents who doesn’t receive government assistance, they are now getting a taste of how difficult it is to access services from the government.

27 behind god

I was laid off from work, March 20th due to the covid 19. It’s been over a month out of work and I filed for unemployment. I haven’t received my taxes yet it’s a 6-9 week wait for that, and I haven’t got my stimulus check either. I have about $100 left to my name and I have a few bills due at the house to help out with my portion. Struggle to pay bills and keep food in the house, I take care of my mother because she’s partially blind, she’s get SSI every month but even with that and what I had left over we’re just hitting ends meet. My aunt got sick from the virus about 2 weeks ago and she’s an elderly lady 75 with heart condition, high blood pressure and diabetes. She’s not doing to well right now, what sucks the most is that if your family member gets sick you can’t even visit them. I pray every night that she fights the battle and come home to all of her family. I pray it’ll be over soon, I barely have groceries in the house to make food at night it’s a really big hassle right now. I’m not asking for too much but anything will help right now until my income tax comes in. This pandemic is messing up everything so far but I’m keeping hope and faith alive. I read my Bible every night before I lay to rest, praying for better days and praying that the world gets back normal.
