Loren was outside the unemployment office feeling devastated and humiliated. He was a proud man who spent his entire life working hard. But he was out of work and didn’t have much of a choice. He didn’t want to sit there arguing, trying to convince people that he was eligible for disability. It was tough, but Loren knew that his circumstances weren’t his fault.
