My wife and I have the worst luck. I lost my job nearly two years ago, and have always worked since I was 16. I have never been eligable for unemployment insurance, and have never collected a dime from the government. I come from a long Family history of serving the military. My Father, both of my Uncles, served in Vietnam, both of my Grandfathers served in WWII. My Cousin Jimmy served in the U.S. Airforce for 8 years, and I served in the Civil Air Patrol for 13 years. We are Christian, and trying to start a family. With our current debt, and my unemployment, that is not possible. I have starting building bird-houses to sell, to try to make ends meet. Your story gives me hope. I am glad that there are people like yourself out there trying to help those, who are trying to help themselves, yet still fail. i wish I had a better story, and I am sure that there are some more deserving of your assistance. Yet, I ask...Can you help?
