Dear Governor Cuomo,
While I live in the same state as you, I feel a world away. You asked us to help you, we did. You asked us to close our businesses, we did. You asked us to stay home, we did. You asked us to continue to stay at home, we are. So here I am, at home, waiting. You told us don’t worry unemployment will come, it hasn’t. You told us don’t worry grants are coming, they haven’t. You told us don’t worry forgivable loans are coming, they haven’t. So here I am, at home waiting. I wait alongside my coworkers, family and friends, small business owners, the self-employed, and the independent contractors. A massive number of New York residents who are waiting for the Unemployment portal to open for us, waiting for loan approvals, waiting for stimulus checks. All of these programs are at the back of the line. So here we wait. While bills come daily, savings continuously dwindling and still doing our part. It is time you do yours. It is an inconceivable expectation to close unessential businesses halting all income and expect us to survive. We need to pay our bills and put food on the table. Without immediate action, you are leaving us with no options. How are we to survive? We deserve an answer. Coming soon is no longer acceptable!!! Please join me in sending this message to Governor #Cuomo
