"We were actually in the process of filing bankruptcy," said Dani Priebe, a Florida resident whose husband Paul filed for unemployment about two weeks ago."We had used up our entire savings to pay a lawyer to get ourselves out of debt, wipe the slate clean and start fresh ... and then this pandemic hit."
Dani works in restaurant management as well and says her paycheck is currently her family's only source of income. Her hours have been drastically cut, and she says the 16 hours she works won't be enough to feed her family of five. Her family has applied for food stamps. The Priebes say they are trying everyday to get in touch with Florida's labor department to check on the status of their unemployment application.Danielle Hopson was a cocktail waitress in Delray Beach, Florida, before she was laid off due to COVID-19. Like Rasky and the Priebe's, Hopson thought she'd done everything right.
"I have phone bills, electric bills, cable bills and groceries I am pinching pennies for," said Hopson."I just had to apply for food stamps, something that I never thought I would have to do." "I saw that they are handing [applications] out at places, which are creating long lines with people close to each other, which is not sticking to the social distancing [guidelines] for COVID-19," said Hopson."We need to get the word out about this because the people of Florida desperately need help, something needs to happen now."
