I am so beyond stressed out. We’ve been struggling to find work and have been living off my daughters ssi for rent which…

Hang in there momma. Weve been there before. It's much easier to find a job when you have a job for some reason. Have him go out of his comfort zone. Hospitals will hire for environmental services at no experience. Night shift gets extra and you dont have to deal with people. Telecommunications companies usually hire you if you just apply. They are generally desperate because no one wants to do it. Go to the zoo for clean up crew. Stop at mom and pop shops (garages, metal shops, convenient stores, restaurants, grocery stores) and ask if you can do anything like clean the bathroom, stock shelves, take out trash. Go to lumber stores and ask if they need help unloading/moving stock. Find places that are moving (like an rv or car dealership) and ask if they need help loading their equipment. Places that usually hire anyone are like

-metals

-fencing

-Telecommunications

-yard maintenance

-janitors

Heck even if its digging holes for the cemetery.

You could go to dollar tree (do they have those? Any dollar store.) And get stuff to make wreaths. You buy $10 worth of materials and sell a wreath for 30-60. You can do any kind of craft really, wreaths are just easy.

Go to churches, all the churches. Chances are someone will have a job lead. They can also help with clothing, food, Bill's and even rent. Some even offer gas cards.

Goodwill has job offering services too. (Not sure if you have one of those.)

We have a place called emergency infant services. They help with food, clothes, furniture, formula, ect. Check for something like that.

Ask the community. If you dont have a Facebook make one. Go to a community page and ask for help. There is always going to be someone who has extra of something and is willing to help out. Even if it's just knowledge about resources to help.

Theres help out there. Dont loose hope momma. You did this for the best for your babies. You will figure it out, you can do it. But you have to stay strong.

Question...why did you get another cat if you're struggling? You have 2 others as well?

HAVE YOU APPLIED FOR ASSISTANCE ? If not do it now it's a lot faster if you go to the main office .

Janitorial work almost requires no certification. I work for a big company, some of our janitors cannot even speak english. They understand just a little bit. Yet they have been hired on as either part time or full time after they got in through a temp agency.

Is he doing something during his interviews that could possibly affect why he has not gotten hired? From maybe grooming, to clothing, attitude?

Goodluck on your interview tomorrow!

I know temp agencies don't keep you forever. I understand how they work. There is a possibility to get hired on though. My husband started his last job through a temp agency before they hired him on full time. But when I ask if he's ever had steady employment, I don't mean just having jobs through a temp agency. That obviously isn't steady employment if he keeps getting laid off. Sorry, I'm just trying to understand how he got in this current situation.

Have you applied for TANF or cash assistance?

He wasn't at his last job long enough for unemployment... not being rude, but has he never had steady work?

I dont know how you feel about factory work but places like that are always hiring and its usually decent money.

What happened to the last job either of you had? Was that left for a reason?

Question...why did you get another cat if you're struggling? You have 2 others as well?

Peoria is a huge city. There wasn't any seasonal work available at stores? Fast food restaurants, grocery stores stocking shelves... try entry level jobs that teenager usual take but work daytime hours that they aren't available for.

He’s called every temp place here and can’t find anything he’s been to every place around here, temps gas stations, restaurants etc and nothing.

I’ve cancelled like everything we had, sold my iPhone X last month to pay bills. Downgraded to a free phone through prepay and cancelled my Verizon act. He tried donating plasma they won’t take it something with his bloodwork. I have a phone interview tomorrow and go from there but being 20 weeks pregnant they’ll probably turn me down when I do the in person interview. I’ve sold everything I don’t need over the last few months to make ends meet and it’s still not enough and now I have nothing left to sell. My kids are already sleeping on air mattresses because we can’t afford regular mattresses. Like idk what else to do I’ve tried everything. I’m trying so damn hard.

Cancel any extras you have currently and get them back when you’re back on your feet. Downgrade your cellular plan. Donate plasma. Sell clothes and shoes you don’t need. Have an extra TV? Sell it.
