Know someone who has been or is unemployed?

[Citizens_United]

If you do please ask them to email me their story. I am trying to publish a book on the struggles that people have to go through once they are unemployed. Unfortunately, unless you have been unemployed, or even under-employed, I don't think people realize the mental and physical anguish and stress these people go through. I don't wish that pain on anyone. The other issue that I am trying to raise awareness of is the amount of people who are committing suicide because they can no longer handle the pressure and strain. I do not plan to take a penny of the money that would be raised off this book. I don't believe that it is right to profit off of others suffering. Instead, any money brought in would go into creating a non-profit that would give food, clothing and other necessities to food pantries and homeless shelters.

1. Yeah - Me

Finally found Contract work last month, but I had a good 6 month run of no income, yet I had to pay a mortgage in CA, raise two kids and eat.

3. What a great idea. I have a dear friend who lost her house and had

to move back to southern Illinois. She has lupus so the cold weather, instead of Florida heat, really affects her. She moved in with an old friend from high school. She was used to making in the 70K area and finds nothing above 7-8 dollars. I will send her your OP, maybe she'll respond. She's pretty depressed and may just rather forget her nightmare...
