Heather Jamerson’s Story:
My husband is a Machinist and got laid off. We have the usual suspects... mortgage, car payment, loans, and credit card debit. Plus we have had an unexpective turn of events. He had a blood clot move up from his legs to his lungs. How bad can it get. Well, we have three children ages 18-4 and we have a great family value that sticks together. It's been hard...very hard but I don't feel special becaues I know that everybody else is in the same boat that I am in. Yet another story of distress.

Heather L. Siekierski’s Story:
A German company was all ready to buy the company my husband works for, but because the banks are hesitant to loan money, the German company was turned down, thus the deal was off and now the company is going out of business. My husband was informed that he would be out of a job somewhere between 30 to 90 days. We are looking at about 4 weeks left of employment. We are a family of 8 and this time will be hard but God is good and He will provide.

Herb Johnson’s Story:
After losing their jobs in Ohio our son, his wife and their two children moved to SC and are living with us until they can find jobs and start a new life here. We prayed that God would work things out and that we wouldn't get overstressed in the process. He has done that! The kids don't have jobs yet, but we are doing fine otherwise. I think the stress is felt more by the kids than my wife and I. We're still praying for jobs. God's timing is perfect!

Hope Donahue’s Story:
My friends and family have bonded together to support one another. We are all over 55 and in real financial difficulty. If one of us needs money we all chip in to help and so it go..if I need help. We are all educated people and we are all willing to take whatever jobs we can get. Four years ago I made $62,000 a year in 08 I made $13,000. We try to buy American...but it's hard to find anything. We listen to the news more, vote and back our President.
