Job hunting in small town horrors

Tweet

I've been out of work for a while now (little over a year) but now have a child to take care of. And my husband had to quit his job last year in June after I went paralyzed for an hour. Since then we have been living off the state. He has applied to everything except what cost money to get a license to do the job (not a drivers license). Had one call, but we were 4 hours away at a Dr's appointment and it had to be that day even though we explained that we could come in once we got back. We both worked at Walmart prior to quitting and now they are letting everyone go so now the only job this town really has is gone. Even the fast food places aren't calling back. It's a small town so I figured okay maybe do something from home... the amount of scams out there. I don't like being looked at like we are lazy or whatever because we don't go to work everyday. We do side jobs together to make a little extra but it's not a job. I no longer know what to do, and our daughtersafe first birthday is in 2 months and we can't even afford a gift, it's Christmas all over again!
