Just wish that I could find some way out of this horrid state for my family and I.
I wish I had something to offer other than sympathy!
Maybe you could evaluate places you would prefer to live, and then call the state (county, city) employment or workforce development office and see if they might have suggestions? There are lots of jobs out there: the fact that Pat was hired in ten days is proof!
Of course, he’s not supporting a family (or even himself), but I’ll bet there are better jobs with vacancies, too.
For what it’s worth, Darks, I’ll add you to my prayer list, and ask that you are inspired where to look, and that things will come together for you and your family. It’s the best I can do.
