Once again, Congress will debate on the latest unemployment extension this coming Tuesday, July 20th, 2010. People are hurt, angry, devastated, disappointed, unable to feed their children, pay their bills or purchase much needed medication. This situation reminds me of a verse I heard in Kanye West’s song Flashing Lights, “like Katrina with no FEMA”…
If you’ve somehow managed to click on this link, you’re not here by mistake. I would like to take this opportunity to ENCOURAGE you to hold on, because something’s gotta give. While you’re waiting on Congress to make a decision, apply for Social Services in your area, contact churches and pantries as well as local agencies for utility bill assistance, rental assistance and help with school supplies if you have children. Temporarily give up having cable and a home phone, borrow money if possible from friends and family to keep your cell phone active. If you have Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile, consider switching over to MetroPCS, Cricket Wireless or whatever’s in your area until you’re back on your feet financially.
Looking forward to seeing what’s going to happen on Tuesday!
