I am currently unemployed and I just moved to California. I am shuffling to make ends meet. I don’t have much and am trying to make sure my wife and I don’t go un-fed. I am struggling to find work because I had a lung embolism a couple of months ago and can’t do much at this time. I don’t have employment benefits yet.
