My wife and I moved here to Iowa less then a year ago with hopes of a better life and fresh start at financial success and the American dream. Well things don't always go as planned and that is just how life works. The holidays are here and it looks like the Grinch stole Christmas again. My job is not the bread and butter I've hoped for all though I love it and am thankful everyday I wake up for it.my wife has been out of work 2 months now with many setbacks keeping her from employment, including a condition she has suffered with since birth and mentally unstable also at least a good effort to find a job even part time before Christmas is being put fourth. We both have no family and really don't know many people in our community.i am a ex felon with a body full of tattoos and I feel many here are quick to judge a book by its cover . I am always looking for side jobs to help with relief for a negative bank account 1 hour after recieving my weeklypay.I am smart with a degree and also a hard worker and kind with respect for anyone I meet. Please anyone who reads this and can help in any way with a job, financial assistance or even a point in the rite direction I would be blessed to have any help we can get . We are on verge of being homeless in this Iowa freezing weather and just lost our vehicle due to circumstances beyond our reach, I would love to be able to purchase another vehicle to get to and from work as walking in 0 degrees weather some nights at 4 am more then a mile home after on my feet for 7 hours is strenuous and takes its toll! Please email and leave a contact number or way to reach you to thank you and maybe meet a new friend. happy holidays and God bless America and all the families in it.
