Karen,
I just sent this to another friend whose son is having a hard time finding part-time/summer work (a college student). Have Tony submit/call/etc any places that have seasonal work (lawncare, pizza delivery/beach patrol/swim clubs/camps) and if they don’t have anything available ask him to be put on a “call list” if someone is out sick or takes vacation. A neighbor has picked up quite a bit of extra work for waiters/waitresses when they are short handed.

I have utter faith you will do be fine, even if your husband doesn’t find a job since it appears you’re prepared for this.

Take care.
