Here's the whole story in a 'nutshell':

had a job till about 1month ago(12/08)

lost it because I have a roommate and 'friend'(lately I am using that term loosely)

with physical problems and who lost his job in July 2007 at a McDonald's because they

closed and 'remodeled' his story. and didn't offer the guy any transfer or explanation why

or even his job back when they reopened the story-went in there and it was ALL young people(i.E NO ONE over 30?!)-my roommate/'friend' is 51.

 slowly he became more and more dependant on me for almost everything it seems.

I am not sure if this was becasuse of his physical problems(he has problems with his legs can barely walk-a sore that doesn't seem to heal completely no matter WHAT the Dr.s do  and some kind of eczema in a very unmentionable place and apparently problems with his lower back-slipped disk I think he said)

 and little by little this began to disrupt my work pattern because I had to 'escort' him because he just WOULD NOT go to Dr.s appts and physical therapy on his own(depression? don't know)

 always making me late to work to the point where I was fired one day for arriving late.

I had to go apply for Food Stamps, I have NO idea whether the rent is able to be covered we haven't eaten in like 1-2 days and foodbanks are very 'scarce' with what they can offer I feel desperate,depressed(already was before being fired)

I am wanting/needing/PLEADING for!:

1.a new job-somewhere in ALBUQ. N.M not proud will clean toilets if need be!

as long as it's not less than 20 hrs a week. 

2.some WAY to survive till the EBT card gets here(maybe by 1/15/09-DON'T know)

3.Help with figuring out some way to cope with the rent

4.Help with Roommate..that is some one or someWAY to get him to accept that he needs to either file for disability or get help on his own besides always depending on ME!

5. some place to wash my clothes(anyone with a Laundromat willing to swap work for free washes?)

6. help with finding a job help with finding a job HELP WITH FINDING A DAMN JOB! 

7.Someone I/myself/ME can talk to when I get so damned depressed I feel like "deep throating a shotgun" 

8.Anyone with Info on what the Food Stamp Works program is and how/what/ it's like all I have gotten from their office is the feeling that I'm like some damned convict on a chain gang(more reason for me to get a job FAST)!

9. Anyone with DVD's Books,Chess Set ETC. to swap/lend so I  can have something to distract myself when not trying to work out the other above problems 

10.ANY OTHER relavant help from any willing party/group in Albuquerque,New Mexico

 

Thanks. take care, all appreciated
