[quote=Anonymous]A childhood friend of mine who is a heavy fb poster left/lost (not really sure) her job a year ago to freelance as a graphic designer. I hired her for a small job, and she did a great job and we've stayed in touch.

She has really struggled freelancing and just posted on fb that she's broke, in debt, without health insurance, and unable to purchase her anti-depressants and thyroid meds. She's a bit of an oversharer on FB but has great boundaries in person, does great work, and has had some hard knocks that she's rebounded from in life (loss of a spouse, health issues). I don't think she's one of those people where there will always be something wrong--her fb posts in past years have had lots of happy moments (i.e. she's not a whiner and not someone chronically unemployed, etc).

I want to help her somehow but we don't have the budget to send any more work her way. I'm also in a creative and freelance field and I want to suggest that she "moonlight" at a big box store to have a steady income and health insurance.

Any ideas of places to suggest? She's in MD in a small town, but there's a Target (and i know quite a few artists who work part time at target for the insurance), JCPenneys, Kohls--the big mid-range chains. Does anyone know of companies that are good to employees? I know Home Depot and Costco and Lucky have good reputations but their town doesn't have those stores. I don't think she would work around food, but she'd be great in retail.

Also, can a single adult get medicaid? I guess that may be a question for health/medical. I tried googling it for MD, but looks like you have to have a kid or be disabled.

Thanks. [/quote]
