My story

After eleven years at the same parts plant, I was laid off in August when the line shut down. I've picked up delivery shifts and I start a new warehouse job in January, but these last few months have been tight. My boys, Jalen and Marcus, have been troopers. They help their grandma after school and keep their grades up. Jalen has been practicing his jump shot on a flat basketball for months. I'd love for them to wake up on Christmas morning and feel like nothing has changed for them, even though a lot has changed for us. Steel-toe boots for my new job would help me get back on my feet too.
