Hi my names is James and I need help to get through Christmas. My mother recently passed away from lung cancer and during the time she was sick over this summer I took a lot of time off work to help take care of her and dealing with her home as well as taking time off her death to grieve. This used up all my vacation pay during that time than after returning to work I found out at the start of the month that we will be laid off for a 2 week pay period. I don't have the savings to cover missing a paycheck and am trying to cover the costs of living at a hard time of the year
