LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Many Kentuckians are still struggling because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with most suffering from financial hardship.
“Every day, you’re looking at the bank account, looking for that deposit. It sucks to live like that,” Janice Ardt told WAVE 3 News.
She said she and her family didn’t have a choice but to live like that for months, all while trying to feed multiple mouths. The pandemic pushed Ardt and her husband Michael out of their jobs.
