Never in my life
Hello, my name is Shaun Selvidge. I am a father of five and a father of a blended family of 9. I recently was blessed with an unexpected miracle Son in June of 2024. Until 5 months ago I was in a spot where financially I was able to help everyone I knew. I gave to charity, helped others with bills, and tried to give personal time to my community. In February of 2024 that all came crashing down.
In August of 1993 I had open heart surgery to repair a defective Mitral valve. Everything was going great until March of 2021 when I was hospitalized for AFIB. From that part forward my life has been controlled by prescription medicines and lifestyle changes. For the most part things were well until unfortunately they became overbearing. Medications led to inability to drive. Inability to drive put a huge strain on my hour and 45 minute work commute. In February of 2024 due to medical reasons I was in a situation where I had to resign from my employment. anybody that has known me knows I have worked consistently from the age of 17. From 2000 to 2024 I worked for two companies. my work ethic is strong and my desire to succeed and care for my family is first and foremost my number one priority. In the last 4 months I have applied for 300 positions from sales to laborer. I have had multiple interviews and have been told in all of them that my experience is too strong and there is hesitance that I would leave for a higher paying position. I have never done that in over 28 years. Yet the job market has changed drastically. I'm at a point now that I am running out of options.
in the last 5 months every emergency possible has happened that has completely destroyed all savings I have had. I am at the lowest point I have ever been and I never ask or have asked for anything from anyone. My options are exhausted. What I am asking for is employment help. Do I need financial assistance? most definitely. But any leads on employment would be more beneficial. The monetary amount on this is a cushion so I do not lose everything. If you have ever worked with me you should know that my main happiness was seeing those less fortunate have an opportunity to flourish. I am hoping that good karma can boomerang back. thank you
