In 2010 a dear friend of mine, AnnMarie overwhelmed by financial stress from long term unemployment took her own life and that of her four children and pets. I began to research how someone in her predicament might have been able to obtain some additional help and was scandalized by what the EDD doesn't disclose to folks even when they are asking for help. I wrote WHAT THE CALIFORNIA EDD DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW, OR, HOW TO GET UP TO $6600 PER MONTH FROM EDD, appearing here on LULU in tribute to AnnMarie. This is a book highlighting options that can help you or someone you know and love. You could be as little as 10 days away from a check from EDD. Most of us know at least a couple folks in our inner circle who are unemployed now. Give someone you love the gift of hope and get this book for them.
