I am married w/ no dependence’, my wife has a full time job. i am in construction and was laid off last year. fortunately i was able to collect unemployment insurance. but that has now ran out and we are now in desperation mode. does anyone know of any programs or have any ideas that could help us until i can get back on my feet? jr4pres@yahoo.com
PS 4 months ago my engine blew up in my car and i dont have $15,000 to fix it. so my job search is now terribly limited. this is the big reason why i cant find work along with the economy.

Have you thought about becoming a handy man. If you have construction experience, does this work? Look at companies that install decks or porches. Roofing, siding just to name a few.
I am sorry to hear about your problems but you may need to get anything to get money coming back in. I don’t know of any specific programs in California. By the way, it doesn’t cost $15,000 to repair an engine. You can buy a decent used car for much less. It it is the engine that has blown up then you can replace it with a newly rebuilt one for about $2,500-3,500. You could probably find a used car for less than $2,000. If I were you I would start calling or going by fast food restaurants, retailers, and anything else that I could think of to find a job. Even a part time job would be better than no job. You may need to find 2 or more part time jobs to make ends meet.
