I was forced to resign from a full-time job I've had the past 3 years last month after an illness (pneumonia) and excessive absenteeism due to the illness and a family member's death.

I am currently waiting for my unemployment claim to be approved while I continue job hunting every day.

Today is the last day for me to pay rent plus late charges or I am going to be evicted. I've been living paycheck to paycheck these past 3 year so I have no money saved up for such an event as this.

Does anyone know if the judges who handle these cases are sympathetic to the length of time it takes for unemployment to be approved?

I don't plan on sneaking out and not paying- in fact, I don't have anywhere to go if I did.

I've never been in this position before and was wondering if anyone has any answers?

Prayers of encouragement would be very much appreciated.

PS. If I had anything of value I would sell it but I own very little belongings and they're not really worth anything.
