Donna, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Have you looked into coming up this way and going to work for Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods? They always have employment and they have really good benefits.
Mohegan Sun

Foxwoods


What about the area hospitals like Yale???

Yale

How about St. Raph's??

How about Southern CT State University....you don't always have to take the state exams to get employment (I should know, I just interviewed with Three Rivers)
Southern

Just some thoughts on where to look. (((HUGS))) Your a very smart woman and something will come up for jobs so you can find a new place to live with all your babies.
