My boss asked me to move to Maryland a year ago promising me that within a year he would give me a large raise and have me running a part of the company.  He did this knowing I have no family or friends in Maryland who could assist me if I had any issues.  I agreed to do so thinking it was a good opportunity for me and my family.  While we were down here my boss changed his attitutude about giving me the promised raises, despite the fact that I was working 70-80 hours a week without demanding overtime.  In February of 2017 I was in an automobile accident which totaled our familys only vehicle.  While looking for a vehicle  on April 1, 2017, my boss let me go.   My boss had previously agreed to give me a sevcerance package but when I attempted to negoytitae through an attorney he pulled the severance package off the table and has since refused to pay me anything. My unemployment has been delayed twice due to mistakes within the maryland Department of Unemployment.  I had purchased a vehicle to replace the vehicle that was totaled but that vehicle broke down 3 times in a week.  We are down to our last $150.  without any assistance we will be at a hom eless shelter in the next few nights.  Further, I justhad a solid job offer in which I was told I had th job do a 180 on me anbd now it appears Im still looking.  In addition to that I nearly died to to a sleep apnea episode and have been hospitalized for the past couple days.  I am being told that I need a sleep study performed and that I need to pay for a bipap machine.  unfortunately, I do not have any health insurance to pay for this study or the machine let alone the 3 day hospital stay I am enduring.  On top of this we are in danger of losing everything we own because we are behind on ther storage bill.  Wed need $4500 to bring thestuff out of hock to Sotuh Carolina and an additional $600 for the storage fees.  This includes everything we own including our wedding pictures, Leonarda baby pictures, her first drawings, my wifes doll collection, my parents hutch which bis a family heirloom,  Please help me and my family take care of these items.  The $15,000 would go directly to medical costs and the storage and housing expenses This is not somethging I wish to do but feel compelled to do to protect the interests of my wife and daughter especialy so I can make sure they are taken care of until theings get better.  Every little donation helps and I thank those who have already donated.
