Sorry for your tragic situation Crash. There are some low level positions out there, and even they have great competion from both the qualified and over qualified. Have you considered self-emplyment? With what little resources that the SBA currently has, they are emphasizing projects by women. You have a small house. Can you run a business from it? Can you share it with someone in order to better cover expenses? The Sarasota County Economic Development Corporation and SCORE have programs about starting a business, writing a business plan, etc. You mentioned workers compensation, have you been injured? Do you have any disability? If so, have you considered services from Florida's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation? Try ot keep your spirits up as best you can. .....Van....
