The corona virus has impacted my life by limiting what activities I can do outside my house. I have not been able to travel to visit family in other states, requiring utilization of technology such as zoom and facetime to connect to distant family. I am usually active at least three times a week with volunteer activities and since these are community based I have had to limit these to just a few that I can do from home. This virus has caused me to work on, not yet complete, in home projects, which I report to my family as means to channel my mother. A women, who lived to 103 years old, who was always busy and was not afraid to take apart an appliance or sewing machine that was not working. I have broken apart two sewing machines with broken gears, and realize that my mask sewing project may never get started. So… moved on to removing paint from chairs and tables.
Stress: I am calm
Give me back my job
I lost my night job. Now I dont know how the bills going to get paid.
27 behind god
I was laid off from work, March 20th due to the covid 19. Its been over a month out of work and I filed for unemployment. I havent received my taxes yet its a 6-9 week wait for that, and I havent 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 shes partially blind, shes get SSI every month but even with that and what I had left over were just hitting ends meet. My aunt got sick from the virus about 2 weeks ago and shes an elderly lady 75 with heart condition, high blood pressure and diabetes. Shes not doing to well right now, what sucks the most is that if your family member gets sick you cant even visit them. I pray every night that she fights the battle and come home to all of her family. I pray itll be over soon, I barely have groceries in the house to make food at night its a really big hassle right now. Im 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 Im 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.

#WeStillHere
Many people around me have been laid off. Im currently looking for a job as I was let go right before the virus took off. However, its been difficult being able to do interviews and things because no one is actually in an office. And I dont want to work a normal job like fast food or anything because I have a college degree. So I have been spending this time looking for jobs. I didnt really take it seriously until I found out that someone from Riviera Beach died from it Coronavirus has taught me to be more clean and sanitary.

Concern about the corona virus crisis
This crisis make us scare everyone. We are unable to hug friend and family. This crisis turn the world upside down no one knows when it’s going over
A Cheerless Pandemic
The sudden and unexpected orders of community and business shutdowns brought about by COVID-19 have had tremendous effects on me, my family, and our small business during this time. Our passion for sports and children is expressed through East Coast Flames Allstarts, our competitive cheerleading and training facility that serves approximately 65 athletes and their families. We are open yearly for athletic training and team building, and travel through the months of December-May for competitions and performances across the state. We’ve been running this business, meeting and training new athletes and children of all ages for the last 20 years. This is the first time in our history that our season has ended so abruptly, and left us disconnected not only from our jobs, but from our extended family. We’ve gone from seeing one another daily, to now being a part for well over a month due to quarantine. The virus outbreak has changed our daily routines, our relationships with others, and most importantly the way we view our world. The love of cheerleading has played a major part of our lives for so many years, and now that we’ve gone without it for such a long time, we question how will physical connections recover when the virus is over? Our main priority during this time is safety, without a doubt, but will we get back to doing the things we truly love any time soon? On the other hand, I have been able to spend quality time and remain my health safely at home with my immediate family. I have stayed up to date with the updates from our officials and leaders, and have an extreme appreciation for those on the front lines to compat this pandemic. All in all, I have been doing my best to remain hopeful and uplifted that in doing my part of staying home, and encouraging those around me through our virtual link ups to do the same, I am confident that together we will all be able to overcome these uncertain and unfortunate times.

Lost hours of work. That involves money paying Bill’s. Buying grocery.
