Three days before I was fired. I had got a cash advance from my Visa card for legal fees, not for me but; for the return of my grand niece’s to her mom (niece on my wife’s side).   The little girl had stayed with me and my wife for over two years. While her mom put her life back together.   She had been taken from us by father of the girl, about 4 years ago (he had very good/bad lawyer). The Dad was to have shared custody with the Mom but after few weeks disappeared into the next state.   So fast forwarding to 9 months ago, the Mom finds out where she is but, needed money for the Lawyer. We come up with money, I lose my job two days later but, we (the Mom and us) get the girl back and the father is in deep trouble (it seems he had abused the girl). But, would I do it again knowing I was going to lose my job? YES!   She is family, which is why I talked my wife into adopting her nephew’s little girl, some thing like 3 years ago. When the state of Mich. was going to cut parental rights off from the parents. If that had gone thru the girl (now our daughter / grand niece) would have been cut off from the whole family until she was 18.   So here I am in debt to my eye balls due to saving two little girls and due to relocating to keep a job that cut me lose two years after.   Trying to fine a job and having little in way of luck but, I have my faith in God still. 
 
  Now for today.   I have got interview for job in a town two hours away. This will be the 4th job face to face, interview I have got in the last 9 months (6 if you count the two phone interviews). Wish me luck and pray for me please!

Your luck sounds a lot like mine. Not exactly the same but just like you a series of misfortunes that have put me where I am today. I to have had only a few face to face interview in the last 8 months but continue to have faith that at some point the right set of circumstances will come along and I will get a new chance to have a successful career. I beleive there is a higher purpose to all these trials and tribulations hipefully making us better people.
