I easily found a job after an honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force. In 2006 I lost my job at Abbott after 16 years. Since then I have looked and applied for work diligently, not only applying for jobs associated with my experience but for anything I thought I could handle. I have received zero offers. I ended up losing my home, car, retirement account and most of my possessions. My unemployment ran out at the beginning of 2010 and I have lived off of what I had saved. On the first of March I used my last dollar for rent on a small room. Since then I have gone looking for some sort of aid to keep me from becoming homeless. I have contacted the Kenosha VA, Kenosha Community Action Agency, Catholic Charities, VFW, Purple Hearts, American Legion, United Way, Goodwill, Kenosha Mayor Keith Bosman even Senator Kohl’s office and received NO help or assistance and in some cases no reply whatsoever. No one really seems to care. I don’t know where else to turn. My sons can stay with their mother, but after next week it looks as if I will be joining the ranks of the homeless. My country gained my admiration seeing it work from the inside while I served it. Now I am gaining a new perspective of it from the unemployment line, food pantry and the homeless shelter.
