Hello and thank you for taking your time for reading my plight.
I am currently unemployed like many of you here and unable to find a job. I lost my job of 6 years due to a medical condition that intially reared it's ugly head back in Aug of 08 with the first signs of blood clots in the lungs. I almost died due to that, and in Sept, I was back in the hospital with more clots and in October I was having emeregency hysterectomy surgery. With so much time in and out of the hospital I didn't spend much time at work. My employer said they understood, come to find out they really didn't.
To make a long story short...I have what is known as Antiphospholipid Syndrom (APS for short) which means my blood clots so I am on blood thinner drugs for the rest of my life. I have to check the level of my clotting factor on a regular basis...if it gets too high or too low it is very dangerous for me...physically I am starting to learn when it is out of range....as it messes with my head.
Come Feb of 09 I was back to work full time, getting adjusted to my new life style with all the new regular doctor visits and checking of the blood and such just to be blind sided with no job a month later.
Because of how FL unempolyment works...I didn't receive my first and only check from them so far until 4/22 and that is almost all the income I have gotten in the last 2 months. It hasn't been much to live off of. I did find a job that lasted 3 days, only to find out that it was scamming honest people who are looking for work, just like you and I, and I could not do it. So because I left that job by choice, FL said F*** YOU to me (at least that what it feels like) and my benefits, your under review and stopped paying. I have two more weeks at a min before my case comes up for review with the state.
On top of it all the car that I am driving, I think the water pump is going out on it...so it needs some help too...it's only a 93' so...I guess I'm lucky it's still around with me...huh?! 
Meanwhile...I have exhausted the savings and checking accounts, piggy banks, credit lines from family and friends and in desperate need of ideas, help and the kindness of strangers. I don't want to sell my soul. Although I have to admit that I have thought about it, I just could not bring myself to do anything that goes against my moral nature. Not that I am judging anyone elses actions mind you....we do what we need to do.
I just need some help. I am at my wits end and don't know what else to do...bills are due...phone is ringing off the hook...I have trimmed down on everything that can be cut down...consolidated everything that can be consolidated...help me please.
