We lost our father in a fire when a car blew up Febuary 7 2008.  We are trying very hard to find our Nephew, Christopher Alger, last know to live in Norman,Oklahoma.   Christopher is about 27 years old. His mothers name is Theresa.  his father Tom.  Tom died in a car accident in Oklahoma in 1984.  One thing, Christopher may have been killled in the Oklahoma City Bombing but we can not find a list of names.  Chris has insurance bennifitts from our fathers death in a trust fund.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

While recieving unemployment, I suggest you seek a counselor you feel comfortable with.  When you are ready and able to work, let the interviewer know that while you had some difficulties, you have spent time actively resolving those difficulties, so they will not have any-thing to worry about.  Most people understand that we all have issues to deal with at times.  It is those who seek to resolve those issues who go on to bigger and better things.  If you sincerely dealt with your issues, this sincerity will project during the interview.

I wish you the best in the coming months.  If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

I have found that when a person vollunteers their time in their community, at the local food bank, library, United Way, etc... It is easier to get help getting back on ones feet. Your self esteem increases, and you make great connections. People see that you are a great worker and a great person..Try it......

My family needs help and would not ask for help on the web with out exausting all resourses first. It took a lot of guts to get to this point, of asking, it is embarrassing, to say the least, humbling. At times even in professional organizations, people are refused help. Crooked cops, and incompetent professionals, and limited resourses with excessive families in need can and does at times create professional rudeness, and inhumane teatment. I to used to look through rose colored glasses, until I exsperianced the pain of rejection of human error, of incompetance, from the professionals insecurity, jeliousy, or what ever, this is humanity and it is not allways nice. Just because the Salvation Army and others are supposed to be nice they some times have people working there with problems, which in turn hurts others. I am sure and have exsperianced others using people kindness, and that taking advantage of others kind nature exists, however most people who ask for help need it, and if they say they can not get help other places who are we to judge.
