During the pandemic, I lost my job and could not pay my rent for four months. When I applied for rent relief, I was denied and searched desperately for help, but no one was able to offer a solution. A friend told me about KCS, and said that I might be able to find help.
When I contacted KCS, the staff encouraged me to apply for Unemployment Insurance. I applied with their help and was able to receive months of benefits that I didn’t even know I had been eligible for. I felt like a way for me to live had opened up. Because I struggled with English and the Internet, they diligently helped me every time I visited until I learned how to make the weekly claims on my own.
