Hola yo me dedico a la limpieza de casas, pero por la situación que estamos viviendo muchos de mis clientes me han pedido que paremos por el momento de ir a limpiar sus casas, y solo estoy trabajando uno que otro día
Honestly, I really do hope and pray things get better on a daily basis. This virus is really spreading and causing so much damage! Things will certainly get better. Well, I am currently on research of the COVID-19 UPDATES around the world so this got me here. Thanks for passing this information across. Please do well to also get information from my blog HERE >>> https://www.techshure.com/toxicwap-download/
That would be great

Hello Yanelys,
Unfortunately, you cannot apply for unemployment insurance with an ITIN number. I would check out the undocumented resources to find resources that may be available to you.
Hello!
I see that you include COVID-19 resources on your website and I wondered if you might consider adding a link to https://www.easyeventplanning.com/honor-and-thank/
It provides a way for everyone across the US to honor and thank the healthcare workers who are risking their lives (and the lives of their families) to save ours. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have.
Me interesa 🙏🏽
