I don’t remember what I was doing, or where I was doing it when the COVID-19 virus took over all of our lives. We now sit in our home, with our three girls – McKinley 7, Maggie 4, and Mia 18 months, unemployed, and unsure. 

A few days ago, I discovered my job with the Y, a job I have worked passionately for the last six years, can no longer be supported. The financial impact will be difficult as time passes, but fortunately Mike and I have saved over the years and have a cushion. However, the emotional impact of it will be an open wound for a while. The family I have known and the work I have contributed to, for a while will now only exist at a distance.
