I can relate to your son's dilemma. I was laid off of my job of 15 years in 2009. In june of 2010 I had a stroke and was the diagnosed with Black Lung Pnuemonia. I recieved benefits until March of this year and have been cut from every means of support I was recieving. Now I am homeless, ill, no job, and scared to death of life or even death for that matter. If he finds a way to get out of the mess he is in, please let me know. I too could use the help or support.
