Furloughed Family of 4

Furloughed worker who is trying to make it through this shutdown and help who i can along the way. it's hard and no one likes asking for help, but with no end in sight it's very scary. We are a family of 4  my wife works but it’s not enough to make up for my not bringing anything home. Our kids are being tough about the whole thing but we can see there stress as well. Thank you all very much.

Once this is over we will be fine but the damage it’s doing with no end in sight is growing and calls are starting. Some agreed to hold off but rent and food are a must.

I have proudly served my country and would do it again in a heartbeat. But now my battle is providing for my family. Hopefully this ends soon so that so many can get back to life and not panic at every phone call. We are better than this and can do better.
