We’re sorry you’re having a rough time. In addition to the resources posted here, we’d also be interested in having you as a bus driver. We will train you too.

I have real bad anxiety I don’t know how to drive anymore. It’s been years. Got into an accident years ago. My nerves are bad

Understandable. We will be posting more jobs too, some which don’t involve driving at all. Stay strong. You got this.

I had really bad anxiety about driving for about 5 years. I finally got it under control and started taking short drives then longer then longer until I got comfortable again. It's really really tough and I totally understand and empathize.
Do you ever use Nextdoor? There's posts on there with lots of people sharing current job opportunities. Someone recently said Chewy is hiring customer service reps who can work from home. There was also a construction company hiring for customer service. People sometimes also post on there that they are looking for work and can do various tasks (housecleaning, dog walking, etc) as a way to make money while they are in a rough patch and lots of people offer to hire them so you might try that too.
There's also frequent posts on Nextdoor about food pantries. One that is very active is Love Thy Neighbor which is privately run so doesn't have any requirements for getting food like some others do. I used to be a writing tutor with some experience helping with resumes so if you would like help with that, pm me any time whether it's today or next week or next month or next year. I mean for free, no charge.
Also the public libraries are a vast and free resource. Not just books! They have workshops to help you with job searches, legal advice, education, all kinds of stuff that you would never even think a library does. And the librarians are super amazing (I go to various locations regularly and love them all).
If you have kids and need help with kid stuff, I have a lot of tips for that as well, just let me know.

This is excellent advice.

Aww shucks. I'm a wee bit starstruck now. Y'all are always doing wonderful things around here. Cheers.
