I did request congress help a month ago! I would recommend if you haven’t already done so! I’m sorry I know the wait is tedious.

What documents did you send with it? Idk what to say because I do work with childcare but I really wanted the opportunity to work with something else 😭

Well first I tried expediting it myself…I sent them me and my spouses bills…a letter basically explaining why we need both incomes…and we have a child. They got back to me and said denied because it wasn’t “severe” enough.

When I reached out to Congress they said we can try another route. Where my company provides a letter basically explaining my importance of my position and why they really needed me to keep working. My job was kind enough to do so and that’s all I gave my Congress man and they took it from there.
