While the unwelcome impact of the pandemic has the entire nation transitioning into a new reality, many of us are facing circumstances we never imagined. The economic impact is hitting quickly, and one of the first things companies have done to preserve their budgets is cutting employees from their payroll.

Like all things — this too, shall pass, and in the meantime we want to offer our support and let you know that you do have options. But where to start?
