Try some of the agencies in Greene County for assistance. Also you may qualify for disability. But yes, it is tough. You must have worked hard as a truck driver, and now that injured, the main programs people use our workers compensation and/or disability. So those need to fill the gap while you retrain for a job that involves less manual labor...such as computer work, etc. Find information on assistance and job training in Greene County.

I have not worked since first of June. Having trouble getting welfare or any assistance. I did get food stamps. They are trying to take my truck which is almost paid for, someone threw a football through my windshield last night, now I have no way to pay for a windshield plus payment that my family is making.
I have a mountain of hospital bills, utility costs, rent, and more. I could use some new job life skills, assistance with my power bill. I am really losing financial ground. I will never be able to drive truck again, so I need help, I cannot even get a job as a telemarketer since I cannot wear a shoe at this time. No one will hire me. I am losing faith in the system real quick. I have two small children, 8 and 1.5. My wife works and only brings in $240 week, unable to pay rent and no where to go. Can you help me?
