Need moving funds to get out of Florida/Texas or another state?
Why is the internet important?
Finding resources for help, educating yourself, getting a job, finding friends and support.
US Low income options include:
Always ask if your doctor can do a payment plan (small payments over time),
sliding scale payment (free and goes up in price on a scale) or if they do any pro-bono work (free).
You can also see if there is a nearby College with students who need practice, example:
A nearby dental school does free and reduced price dental cleanings for nearby residents.
Some employers offer health insurance in the US, that price comes out of part of your paycheck.
The jobs that offer healthcare are either full time jobs at a minimum wage position, or jobs that are salary positions.
The employer chooses the insurance provider, and they sign you up as part of their plan.
You can also add a partner or children under your health insurance plan.

* Tip: Make sure your social media is set to private so employers looking up your name in background checks don't find anything inappropriate, nsfw, controversial, etc.
Create a resume on Linked in, a website used for employers to find employees and people to see what business connections others have.
Wear something business casual. No need for a tie or heels, but dont show up in sweat pants or something dirty.
Wearing a nice, well fitting and clean outfit shows that you will also show up to work ready in uniform each day.
You want to appear professional and put together.
* If you don't have an interview outfit, consider borrowing a shirt from a friend, going to a thrift store, or asking a local charity for job interview clothes.
Many charities are more than willing to help someone unemployed with this. Also some even help with job uniform cost.
