Laid off from long term job

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

If you were laid off, a few things. Look into job training programs in your state for a new position, including job fairs. They can also usually help with unemployment claims or other needs too. Read more on job fairs near you.

I was laid-off by the job I had for 18 years. I have not been able to find a job and the unemployment office stopped sending unemployment checks. I don't have money to pay for anything and most important the rent. I need assistance for at least 3 months while I continue to search for a full time job since I was laid off from my long time job. Any monetary assistance you could provide is appreciated.
