Unemployment Woes

I have been communicating with a person on Twitter since before Christmas about how unemployment has affected them. I have tried to guide the person to places to get assistance and given encouragement to the person to hang in there until Congress gets its act together and passes the extension of unemployment benefits. Sadly, I have run out of ideas. That is why I decided to publish this person's story in their own words. The person wants to remain unnamed as this whole experience has created a lot of shame for them. Please read below the fold one person's story of unemployment. By the way, this person is now an American citizen.
