Maybe Job and job is a message I'm supposed to understand.
Did the 401k thing when I got let go, but my wife's meds other things ate that up in about 5 months.
I work from home to be able to take care of my wife who is disabled.
I found this website and bookmarked it in case I was ever looking for a job again. Seems legit.
But like everyone else here has said, prayer can and really does work wonders.
Looks like his rent's due...so I'd be selling some of my furniture in the front yard if that desperate. I went thru a rough spot many years ago and did exactly that...sold anything that wasn't needed in my front yard and it worked!
The idea was to generate money...I figured if I wasn't willing to sell some of what I had then I wasn't that desperate to begin with.
That would go especially if I needed medication, as seems to be the case here.
This is a critical question.
You must know at least one CAD software program, since no one has used a pencil and eraser in the last 30 years.
If you are in Tulsa, I assume you do piping design. Can you use PRO/E Piping?
I would need a degree for that. I learned drafting at a vocational school and that's not good enough to get a teaching position. I know. I tried.
Prayers for you, brother.
When I was unemployed in the worst of the recession, I managed to make ends meet by getting part-time work via CRAIG’S LIST. Seriously, it is a great resource.
If you’re out of cash then you need to sell some of your belongings to pay at least for the medication you and your wife need....
As for rent...have you spoken with your landlord?

You left of Baptist and Republican.
I'm only half white. The other half is Choctaw. But I live in the Creek Nation. And in the Creek nation; if you ain't Creek, you don't count.
Contact them again, maybe for contacts.
And, your church.
Engineering, design and drawings are mostly done in the U.S. if the company is a U.S. based outfit. All military contractors and companies making what could be dual use items (military or commercial) do all the engineering and manufacturing in the U.S.
No U.S. company wants China to get their grubby mits on the intellectual property that easily.
If relocation is an option, consider NW Arkansas. Walmart supports many related businesses, large and small.
About 20 years ago, I [briefly] worked for an architectural company that had grown from about 20 to 160 in 10 years. Their primary clients were various divisions from Walmart.
Arkansas has one of the lowest unemployment rates and NW Arkansas is booming in every way imaginable.
I live about 30 miles from the Wmt HQ and many from my town work in some type of business that has ties to Walmart [Bentonville] and/or Tyson [Springdale]. When I moved here in 2000, the population was 8,400. Now, it is nearing 15,000.
Do some internet searches on architects in the area. There are dozens of them. Check temp agencies as a start. Check state Job Corp and check things like Craigslist.
Maybe try a temp service. For anything. Even answering phones.
snagajob.com has a posting for an online survey taker in Sapulpa.
Also several host/greeters for restaurants, and ace Cash express needs someone.
Even if his skills are in a different discipline, he might try to get a job as final drafter to draft plans after the designer is done with it which frees up the designer to start a new project.
Also, even if you miss one month rent, that should just start the clock ticking on an eviction proceeding,which often take months. Don’t panic.
If you are interested in long-term work instead, also sign up at linkedin.com - a networking site for professionals.
My daughter enjoyed working for Alpine Access from home. Until she lost her voice - it was all phone work. They contract with many, many companies, so there are a variety of types of position open.
In past years, I've had luck working through a temp agency then being offered permanent work by their customers.
Best of luck - and will be praying.

Check out Sections 131 & 132, above, acad. It mentions a five (5) day notice to quit.
You may have agreed to pay his atty fees in the lease, if he has to sue, so it would be best, I think, to go to the LL and try and work it out ASAP. If you can’t work it out, go to an Okie legal clinic to get some legal advice you can rely on.
