No Contact

Woke up this morning, realized we do not have the money for the month. Daycare, nope, food, nope...have to ask for help from the in-laws. How is this possible? There are two master's degree between my wife and I. How is it that I am a VET, do not have health insurance, ....my wife and daughter do.....do not have a job and no benefits. I was told that I was not eligible for unemployment either. Is this how we treat our VETS now?????? What about the ones with physical or mental injury? Some want to label the administration, however, does the political administration effect unemployment, job interviews, healthcare?????

I have dealt with a lot in the military, but this is far greater a hurdle.

We feel that no-money pain too, despite not being vets. My husband has had maybe 4 interviews in 5 months of unemployment and still no job. Govt DOES affect unemployment and SHOULD be providing veterans with healthcare (I don't know your situations here). In fact, I thought they did and was surprised you don't have the option into it.

But why should a vet have a leg up on getting a job when many others don't have jobs either? I love you and know you are on hard times and want you to come out of them, but doesn't my husband deserve a job too even though he hasn't served? Recession hits us all equally, DD...and sucks all around. We're praying for ya'll.
