Hi, I am the married mother of 3 in Canby, Or. I have been married to my husband for 20 years and he has been out of work almost a year due to a severe anxiety disorder and other health issues. I have been the sole supporter of our family and on October 16 I was fired from my job of 5 years as an assistant director in a childcare center becuase I made 1 human error and almost fed a bottle to a baby that did not belong to him. The huge corporation I worked for has a very black and white attitude and it made no difference that I never was written up before. Anyhow, I have been looking for work and I am apparently overqualified or under-educated. (I worked myself up from the ranks) I passed my test to get into nursing school in May, my lifelong dream but that may not happen if I can't figure out how to get employment now. I am terrified about not having anything for my children on Christmas and obviously bills. I was hoping to get unemployment to have time to help my husband sort through and gather info to get his disability case started. (Upon recommendation from his Dr.) Today I was denied and I am feeling like a leper. I have sent out over 30 resumes, gone to countless interviews and am scouring job sites and classifieds daily. I was told I cannot receive TANF if I was fired. Any thoughts there?
