Challenges accessing unemployment

I did not receive back pay and then not too long afterwards to Federal Government unemployment benefits ended. It was almost a full time job trying to apply for benefits and/or checking the status. I live in California. -

Masks for Donations- Hospice of the Valley
When the suggestions came out for being safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, I made a couple of masks for myself and they turned out to be really nice. Having a lot of leftover quilting fabrics, I decided I could make masks for my friends and co-workers. I noticed online that people were making masks and charging for them, with some costing up to $20 each. I didn't want to profit from the pandemic but I did want to 'make a difference', so I decided to suggest that each mask recipient make a voluntary donation to Hospice of the Valley. (Hospice has been caring for my 100 year old cousin and I thought this would be a nice way to give back and show my appreciation for all they have done through the years for my family.) Happily, everyone who ordered masks gave me a donation check with some being more than generous! Yesterday, I took the first batch of checks to Hospice and presented them to Lin Sue Cooney, Director of Community Engagement. They were so appreciative and I am so thankful for all those who contributed. Amidst all of the bad news about COVID-19, I feel like I created some good news for a change. I am getting pleasure out of creating some fun masks for people to wear to stay healthy, the donors will receive a Hospice receipt for a tax deduction, and Hospice will benefit from their donations. It's a win,win, win!!! Pictures from left to right: Me in 1 of my masks 2. another mask, 3. my work station, a.k.a. kitchen table, 4. me and my sewing machine, 5. Hospice of the Valley, 6.
