I've been unemployed for about a month, but under employed before that.  Because of this, my bills are due and I don't have any money.  I was trying to get by on savings for a month, but I used up all my money while looking for a job.  Now, I don't even have money for a bus pass. I'm hoping I can get money for a monthly bus pass that's $76.  If I can get that then I know I can find a job within a month or two.  Then I can pay my $700+ gas bill and get back on track.  Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Mike
