...on welfare? I am living in Philadelphia and was a Special Education Teacher's Assistant for a year after receiving a B.A in Liberal Arts. I had to leave my job due to death in both of my grandparents, leaving me a falling apart home that I needed to restore. I spent 5 months working on this house and using money that I have saved up. Now that I am finished with the house, I have put it up on the market....it is looking like it will take a long time to sell. For the past 2 month I have sent my resume to numerous places, coffee shops, antique stores, maintenance, etc....and have been rejected to all so far. I am at my end with my money and have no one to ask for help in my family. I am also hard of hearing, to the point of deaf but I don't think I qualify for disability help since I am well educated. I am tempted to get a little help from the government, like food stamps or something....I will continue looking for a job because I love working but right now I am just extremely low in money and becoming desperate. I've lost 10 lbs because I barely eat. My bank is charging me for not having direct deposits (how dare they charge unemployed) What should I do?
