Hopeless poverty and social isolation

Over the past week and a half, I've been in contact with an employment agency which was trying to help me get a full-time job.  The job was for 40 hours/week, paid $17 or $18 dollars to start as a temporary worker, with a pay increase if hired permanently, would have had health insurance, and would have allowed me to relinquish dependency on all welfare other than my Section 8 voucher.

Abruptly, the employment agency stopped responding to my emails.  Probably, someone at that agency did a Google search of my name.
