Pray, wish, hope, whatever for me and my family, we need this bad

So I got a three day job moving exercise equipment starting tomorrow and my wife might get two day, if this happen we still don't make rent but we are so close within a hundred. This is the miracle I need, please pray, wish, think about me. I am not religious, but this is the break a guy could use. If not still waiting on the forever train for unemployment, but not going to count on that. Plus like I said I love work, and not afraid of working.


Such a miracle of miracles called for a three day job with day labor, I bust my butt work hard and never ever get anything but good things said about me. Looks like its paid off for a long term job, now I have to perform be there tomorrow at 6 am and bust butt. That is exactly what I will do.

Please wish my family and me luck. I quit my job last month because of severe mental issues, unemployment is taking days, I've cut every unnecessary expense out of my life, I asked for a favor from my apartment complex and a got it ( a 2 week extension on rent) I am sober, get along well, and still loving life, but this is a miracle, when I needed a miracle. Please pray, hope, whatever that I get unemployment and if not that this job works out for me, and that my wife works this weekend if so I am so close to where I need to be we might just survive.

While I wrote this I was on hold with unemployment and there is a 50 50 chance it will be adjudicated by tomorrow, but I always get different answers from them. I hate this, you need help ask for help, tell the truth, do what you have to do, and the red tape persist.

Anyways onward and upward, I can solve my own problems this weekend if I work every day.

Wow I mean wow, the manager was like bro, I am going out on a limb for you, we aren't supposed to do this, but I am going to give you to the 30th to extend your rent. I mean, floor elated, I am going to make it folks such a gift, this relieves my pressure and now I know I can make make the rent!

TDG, I suspect your landlord knows that you are doing everything in your power to get the money for the rent. I'm so glad he is being reasonable.

Your determination and persistence continue to impress me.

Rock on man! You are pushing trough this with courage, wisdom, patience.

So proud of you. By doing this sober, when things stabilize you will feel and see what the sacrifices you have been doing are paying off.

This is one of those moment where I am blessed but know it takes work and perseverance, if I get unemployment awesome, if not then I am going to work. I think the wife will work too, but its on call and dicey, but no matter 100 by Monday and I am good till the 30th. no biggy I will make it, one way or another, but at least I am trying.
