I need help 😞 Most of you know this but I’m a single father to my autistic son, Luca. His mom isn’t in the picture so it’s just Luca and me and we are about to be evicted due to not making rent and we will be homeless.
Idaho used to have a program called parents as caregivers and this allowed me to be Luca’s official paid caregiver which was my only way of supporting us between that and Uber Eats. I do Uber Eats because it’s the only thing I can do while having him with me. Well, Idaho ended the parents as caregivers program so I’ve had to rely solely on Uber Eats. We tried to find a caregiver for him but there just aren’t any, which is why the parents as caregivers program existed to begin with.
I have to take him to school, pick him up from school, take him therapy, pick him up from therapy, and be available to take care of him when he’s out of school. This means I can only work a normal job during the hours he is in school. I have him enrolled in the afterschool program but it’s still not enough and not many places are willing to work with my schedule and periods where Luca has school breaks like spring break and summer. I don’t know how I’m supposed to make a living while also being the only person who can care for my son. I’m currently a job coach for people with disabilities but again, it’s only during hours Luca is in school.
On top of this, my father is in the hospital in critical condition and I’m praying for his recovery, my birthday is on the 19th and I don’t even want to celebrate it, and Luca and I are getting evicted the day after my birthday unless we can somehow come up with the rent we owe. I’m confident I could stay afloat if I can just catch up on what I’m behind on and save our home. But I don’t think saving it is possible unless by the grace of god some miracle happens 💔

I was part of the Epic layoffs today. I worked as a Art Outsource Lead overseeing Fortnite Lego minifigs. I worked on everything from K-Pop DH, to huge streamers and minifigs for the latest Superman movies. If you’re looking for a Outsource Lead, Lead Or Char artist let me know!
I am safe, but many of my incredibly talented coworkers, colleagues and friends were affected 😔
Someone started a Google Form for those who are now seeking new opportunities. you can find the real-time list of AWESOME PEOPLE here: lnkd.in/eJ7sD6rd

Hey! Redownloaded this app to give the update we didn’t want to hear, I was impacted by the Epic Layoffs.
Over the past 5 years, I shipped 24 seasons of Fortnite 🎮🌎
If you see any production roles that would be a good fit - please send them my way on LinkedIn!
The Lead Writer of Epic Games, Nik Blahunka, who worked at Epic Games for over 10 YEARS, contributing to both BR & STW's storylines was laid off today.
I feel terrible for him, so many talented people were laid off today.
This is all so infuriating. Shame on Sweeney.

Unfortunately, my role was impacted. 7 years on Fortnite now wrapped up. Lots of good people looking for new jobs today. If you know of any that fit my skillset, please let me know

Got hit by this, as did many of my super talented buds in QA. If anyone in the Seattle area is hiring, ya boy needs help. And if you know of work in Cary, I'd be happy to pass it on to other folk

Did you know : Fortnite's Midas was originally going to wear glasses in his design, but that was cancelled one day before Chapter 2 Season 2's release because "he didn't look cool enough".
However they kept the glasses on his statue.
