KILLEEN, TX â Fallon Rufus was working at local bar and managing her own bartending business when the pandemic hit, changing everything.
âIâve seen a tremendous decline in sales. Itâs not because of marketing or anything like that, itâs simply because the economy has been shaken,â she said.
Out of a job for six months, Rufus was unable to get rental assistance or unemployment.
âIâm down with one arm. Iâm trying my hardest. Iâm not trying to give up but I need your help. To see that door is still shut in my face, it makes you want to give up,â said the Killeen woman.
