00:00And I'm picking up some food since my paycheck isn't coming to me until
00:10the government reopens and everything, and so.
00:16To me, the tea?
00:18Yes.
00:18Right here.
00:24I think it's kind of crowded, so I always move this.
00:30At Indianapolis Airport, we have about 300 TSA workers who have been working without pay
00:38for some time, with no end in sight at this point.
00:43So Gleaners is doing special distributions for these workers.
01:00No, I'm fine, thank you.
01:16It's extremely awkward.
01:18I never thought I would be in a position to where, working for the federal government,
01:24that I would need to go to a food bank to supplement my groceries because, you know,
01:32I do work a full-time job.
01:40It's cold.
01:57I've been very, very fortunate that I've had, like, family and friends send me money to kind
02:03of help pay for groceries, gas, and everything like that.
02:07And then with Gleaners, giving us the opportunity to come and pick up food has helped a lot.
02:30You know, it's just really unfortunate that some of my own personal financial goals have
02:36to be put on pause because I need my savings to go towards paying, you know, my regular monthly bills
02:43versus, you know, going towards those goals.
03:04I really need to get my wisdom teeth removed, and I haven't been able to do that this year
03:07because not only are they not approving the time off during the shutdown, you know, I don't
03:14know if I'm going to be able to cover the copay with insurance if they don't cover the complete surgery.
03:39Realistically, once we hit 60 days is probably when I'm going to have to start looking for another job,
03:44like, you know, I do kind of look here and there just to see what the options are.
03:52But that 60 days really is going to be that marker for me because I don't.
04:00I don't.
04:01I don't.
04:05I don't.
04:08I don't.
04:10I don't.
04:11I don't.
04:11I don't.
04:12I don't.
04:12I don't.
04:13I don't.
04:14I don't want to have to spend my entire savings just to, you know, afford to keep living.
04:20And then, you know, if we don't reopen and I no longer have savings, like that paycheck's
04:27not going to do anything.
04:28That's just going to be helping me dig out of the hole that I've had to dig myself.
04:31So.
04:32So.
04:34...
04:35...
04:36...
04:36...
04:38...
04:40You
