I have been out of work from any day job now for over 6 months.  I am getting unemployment insurance, but it runs out in November and I don't get Social Security until March.  At that point I'll be OK, but right now I have medical costs (prescriptions) and other annual costs (car insurance, Medicare, property taxes) coming up in December.  I am deeply grateful to each of you for your help.  My goal may seem high but this is with (again) zero income and no hope in sight at the moment, and my expenses are based on my former salary.  Of course now I'm "downsizing" like crazy.  I am applying for jobs all the time and have gigs coming up!!  And keeping positive energy going the best I can.  Your messages help even more than your very kind donations. Thank you from my heart.
