I am so appreciative of this bill being passed. I am one of thee unemployed workers who really needs this 13 weeks extension. I have been laid of since 09/28/2007 and I have exhausted all of my extensions. As I write this comment I am packing up my apartment and I have no place to go but to a homeless shelter, I still have a Son in high school and I am fifty years old it seems like my hope and faith in the system has failed me. Sometimes I lay in my bed at night thinking how could this have happened to me I am a good and dependable worker. But it is what it is, well I know you probably don't want to here my problems, but I pray that nobody has to go through what I've been through the last two years of my life, just trying to survive and stay alive and keeping my head above water, it is really hard. And being fifty years into my journey it seems like nobody wants to hire me at my age when the only experience you have is in manufacturing and assembly and production, most of these jobs have left the state on Michigan. PLEASE HELP US IN MICHIGAN. Thank You.
