This past year was undoubtably one of the toughest bottom-line years for Shekeya McCallister.
âI worked for a non-profit organization but I lost my job. I was able to obtain another job. However, the start date never came because of COVID,â said the Killeen woman.
McCallister went months filling out job applications, looking for a way to support her family, but her troubles didnât stop there.
âI wasnât able to file for unemployment because I didnât qualify. I was basically without a job for a whole year,â she said.
