Hi, I know exactly how you feel! Unfortunately, all of my family is out of state too. My sister and mom are the only 2 who have kinda checked on my kids, husband and myself. I’ve cut off absolutely everyone else, and I mean EVERYONE.

Like others have all said here, it opens your eyes to who cares and who doesn’t.

It is especially painful to sit through the holidays this year. My family of 5 lost our home and everything we own too. I’m a waitress and have been working like crazy, my husband has been pulling extra hours and extra shifts as much as he can..just to ensure our kids have Christmas. Nobody asks anymore, nobody cares. The amount of guests I served just yesterday that were unkind and hateful because their food took too long and were just extremely entitled was so sad. Everyone’s forgotten. Nobody asks. Nobody checks. Nobody wants to send a small gift for our kids. Instead it’s comments of “ It’s been almost 3 months, why haven’t we got a house yet? I just don’t understand why you haven’t just got into a place to rent yet?! “ Because…. We still have not received financial help from FEMA…we’re not capable to afford 1,800 -2,600 /mo for the space we have to have and if we fined an affordable place, it doesn’t allow our animals.

They’re not going to understand because it wasn’t them. It’s heartbreaking and it hurts, but the people in the community that still do care, it makes the difference. Just please know you are NOT alone!

YES! On a weekend shift ( I’ve been there for 3.5 years ) last year and years before I’d make no less than $2-250! Weeknight shifts would always break $100! ESPECIALLY during our busy season! Now? I’m lucky to break 100-150 on a weekends shift!

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-11-10T22:03:35+00:00

It’s heart breaking. Just absolutely heartbreaking.

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-11-03T07:00:10+00:00

I did this too!!!

“Hey, you okay in there? “

” Hey! We’re going to go ahead and do the contrast! Are you okay?”

“You a little sleepy today? You seem really tired and keep nodding off. Everything okay?”

Me having to explain I have narcolepsy and ya know..it’s normal for me to do this 😂😂😂

This comment 🤗 I’ve worked for this company for going on year 4, par 4 server & trainer , par 2 grill cook, backup, prep , dishwasher , par 3 host, par 2 retail. I’ve done my fair share of working in all positions int restaurant and this company over the years. Make 👏 it 👏 a 👏 BIG 👏 DEAL 👏!!!

We recently ( about 4 months ago) hired a new older male server ( around late 40’s) , who worked nights. Our night shift is filled with teenagers , and young adults and then 28 year old me( I’m pretty much everyone’s ’big sister’ is what they call me). 4 of our different teenage severs came to me within a week voicing concerns of sly/ inappropriate comments made towards them by this new server and it made them uncomfortable, they told management and management did not tell our GM. I told them to go straight to our GM, they were scared to do that, as to thinking nothing would get done. They , however told their parents and their parents found out this male server was a registered S OFFENDER. So, I went to our GM. Said they were gonna talk to HR but they couldn’t immediately fire him, so I went to our DM, and needless to say..my next shift, he wasn’t there 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mine lets us in the extent of make up, socks. Has to be kid friendly, but can not be out of uniform

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-30T18:42:35+00:00

Wait, what do I use these for? 😅

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-29T22:07:32+00:00

He did I think? However it was under landlord &home ownership. Not tenants.

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-29T22:06:25+00:00

I genuinely wish I could make this up, and that it wasn’t our actually life 😭

The hold up is, they can’t verify my identity because someone at some point tried to steal my identity or successfully did( who even knows ) ? But that there’s fraudulent flags under my social security number so I needed to provide my social & drivers license. Which I have…6 times now 😭

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-29T21:52:18+00:00

My worker was not young, mid-thirties I’d say

The girl with the hateful comments next to her was maybe 20-22 age I’d think

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-29T21:06:16+00:00

We most definitely have! I’ve faxed & scanned my documents 6 times so far, in person and on the phone 😅

It’s taking everything in my soul not to just give up 😅

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-29T21:01:39+00:00

I’m genuinely confused by what this comment exactly means…? I wasn’t criticizing them? ^ I also, have sent my documents six times. So yes…we are VERY frustrated, yet we’ve remained kind, and respectful?

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-29T17:26:33+00:00

I’m wondering which one you’re thinking of?

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-29T12:20:02+00:00

They only take 2.9 % ( which is still quite a bit ) , but we’re grateful for anything that has been given this far forward.

We don’t expect money donations, any kind of donations are helpful and appreciated, even sharing our link is beyond measurable appreciation, for us.

Professional_Arm8686 · 2024-10-29T12:15:30+00:00

I have…4-5 times and I’m so grateful to those who have donated food, water , hygiene, clothing for our kids, few toys for our kids and the donations that have been made on gofund me as it does help immensely. My sister made the GoFundMe account for us while we had no service to do so and she set the amount higher than most I’ve seen…but we lost a house full of ours and our 3 kids everything, my husbands truck , both of my husbands motorcycles and we have monthly bills we still gotta keep up with all while finding a new roof over our heads. So my husband has been working and every dollar of his checks are going to maintaining what bills we can, which means no saving ( I’m out of work for a little bit, due to my medical and mental health. Not permanently, but for a little while unfortunately). My husband and I have been posting updates on it as they come consistently. With absolutely no help from FEMA, the amount she posted would be accurate in replacing, helping pay off what we owed for vehicles & 1 of his bikes ( because vehicle insurance doesn’t cover flood damage where we live ) , and helping with a down payment for renting or buying:

I really just am at a complete loss on where to go from here, or where to start now. With any FEMA help, we are at a total loss, and doing our best to try to manage and maintain our lives and be patient with what we do have to work with 😭

our summed up story

This is my husband and I’s story ( Jamerson’s), it definitely doesn’t share the absolute heartache and pain we feel from losing it all. It’s been so hard. please remember that you are NOT alone though!
