Another status update
Apr. 8th, 2015 06:34 pmOn Monday and yesterday I went to the Gloucester County Social Services. I missed an interview call on them on the first, due to my cell phone being shut off. On the second I got the packet telling me that they were going to call me on the first. :=/
After a bit of confusion at the office on Monday, about whether or not I had been seen, I had my initial interview and was told to come back the next day for a more in depth interview about GA, General Assistance.
That interview went smoothly and I was told I have to report tomorrow at 1:30p at another office for the first of four "Employment Training" sessions if I want to get my GA. The sessions run once a week for a total of 4 weeks. I should be getting my SNAP card (food stamps) any day, so that is a load off of my mind. Certain people will need to send me a letter directed to the social services about something, which I will post in a friends only post later.
Otherwise everything is looking up, except that I need to raise $216 by Friday to keep the car loan company happy. I'm almost 60 days late with my Feb. payment and if I can make that payment by Friday then my next payment won't be until May and I should have some breathing room then.
To those that have helped and are continuing to help me, until I can get myself on firm ground again, you have my undying and eternal gratitude.
