I've been self-employed for over 25 years and I am incredibly worried that we are going to be left out of the stimulus bill. Employees not only get unemployment but also possible unemployment extensions. What about us? Are you going to help us self-employed by sending us financial relief as you are doing for employees? I pay my fed and state taxes every year. I do my part. Please don't forget about us in this horrible time of need. Please do your part and include the self-employed in the relief bill.

I am self-employed as a dog walker and sitter and also have my own business painting people's pets. I am 21 and also go to online school and pay rent as well as other expenses. I am getting less than $30 for my self-employed pet services and an art show I was going to attend that brings in $1k+ has been cancelled. This is not something anyone could have forseen, but that doesn't mean we can't make it right for those who are not employed by businesses!

We have a painting company and a 9 week old daughter. We haven't had any work in a couple of weeks. They turned our car off today since we couldn't pay it. We need money soon.

I am a self-employed business owner who is now out of work for the foreseeable future. I work hard, I pay my taxes. People like me, running businesses with no employees, need help too.

I am self employed and believe something needs to be done to help those of us who do not qualify for unemployment but are unable to work or are experiencing a decrease in available work due to COVID-19. We still have bills to pay and basic necessities to buy.

Please I am self employed as a massage therapist and have a travel agency and I am struggling. I am also a single mom with no assistance from my ex husband. The self employed are people too .. we may not be a big conglomerate with lots of extra dollars but out families depend on us. We need to be a part of this stimulus package and not just get a loan from SBA.

We the people need help NOW. We know you will (likely) bail out large corporations, but what about small business?

I am the sole provider for a family of 4. I provide IT services to small businesses across North Carolina. If a "shelter in place" order is enforced, I will have no income.

Is the government going to pay my tenants rent directly to me,no. Half my income is rental property, the other half commercial cleaning. Offices forced to close my income GONE. How about waiving IRA early withdrawal penalty!! That pile of junk worth 40% less and 10% penalty is all i have left.
