Sunday, December 09, 2001 12:22 PM I am in search of help To whom it may concern: My name is , and I was the happy owner of a small vacation travel agency located in Atlanta, GA since 1997. Since the events of September 11, 2001. I have lost a considerable amount of revenue, as a matter of fact I have not made one dime since the event, and I am in jeopardy of being evicted from my place of residence. I have been looking for a job since the tragedy and the field where my 10 years of expertise lies does not offer any hope at the present time, travel. I have signed up with temporary agencies to meet the basic needs of myself and my two year old daughter . bunt one I have paid for childcare, bought a MARTA rail card to attend the next assignment, pull-ups and food there is nothing left. I am sure Americans will travel again and that I will be able to run successfully again, but right now I don't know what to do. While Americans are running around worrying about what to buy each other for Christmas, I am worrying where my child and I will be sleeping then. I am writing this letter because I am sure out there somewhere there is hope and help for me. I did not loose anyone in the tragedy, but I lost my ability to make ends meet. Congress bailed out the airlines, but who is helping the little guy. I am not sure if your organization has any funds for persons in my situation but if you don't ask you won't know. If you can not help maybe you know of an organization that will. I know that once I am homeless it will be even harder to fight my way back to being a productive of society.
