<prompt> Human: So my parents both worked for a local employee owned business for about 20 years each. My father was fired last year for smoking next to a door, aka he was getting close to retirement and they found a way to let him go. Due to this my mother quit. They moved from Wisconsin where I still live to Oregon and bought a house. They have since spent all of their money and are unable to find work. Both around 55 years old. They need help but I dont know what to do. Im a barista at a local coffee shop and just recently started my own web development and applicationgame design studio as my only employee currently still making nothing but with my first two clients in the door. I need to find a way to help them. Any thoughts?  <response>: Any thoughts? It sounds like you dont have the resources to give them much, if any, financial help. They need to help themselves. A couple resources I would recommend are WorkSourceOregon and a program called ExperienceWorks if its available in your area. The first is the states jobforce agency, and they will be able to help with finding available jobs, job-seeking skills, and connecting your parents to any training or support programs that they qualify for. The second is a program that pays for seniors to work and develop skills with non-profits and businesses so they can increase their chances of finding a job on their own.
