Urgent Help Needed for Tyna and Joe

***UPDATE***

Well, as I sit here and type this some things have transpired. Some have been for the good and some have been the worst!

First the good...With the donations that we have received via this and via private donations, we are out of the woods....for June!

Now for the worst...Due to the State of Pennsylvania and their crooked laws/policies with unemployment...Tyna cant get unemployment until next month (august) sometime. When she was on it back in like 2018 she got overpaid for 2 weeks that we didn't realize! However, the overpayment WAS PAID BACK from them garnishing taxes! BUT, they (PA Unemployment) is making her serve 7 penalty weeks because of it! She was ONLY overpaid 2 WEEKS!!! It is unreal how they can add 5 weeks to something that only happened for 2 weeks AND WAS PAID BACK!! AND they have a record of it being paid back!

She has already served 3 weeks but has 4 to go and well, THAT gives us no rent for July!! So we are basically BACK at square one!!




Tyna and I aren't the type to ask for handouts or freebies or anything like that, but we are at the absolute end of our rope and we don't know what else to do.

After 7 solid years with her employer they decided she was underperforming...even though she had the most accounts that were paid from other clients. So she was abruptly terminated. She did file for state unemployment benefits, but for some reason they keep saying she has a penalty week...even though she does all that is required per the guidelines set forth.

Then she got called for another job through a temp agency that was supposed to start on the 2nd of June which would have been fine, but they keep pushing the date back, and now here it is the end of the month and well...rent is due, and we are totally stressed out! We don't know what to do!

I can't work because of my health, so trying to find something that I can do from home is proving to be impossible. It's not like I can cook from home unless I'm making my own dinner!

So, here we are at our last hope and if this doesn't work for us than it's going to be finding a cardboard box!
