There are religious organisations that can sometimes help too and would not expect you to be of their religion.

Try not to worry about it - it is not just you. The job market is awful right now but it will pick up again!

I have chronic health issues so i was let go do you have any other suggestions

Wow that is really not fair of them! I think you have grounds for legal action there
assistant
Information
i actually am considering that
user

You really should - nobody has the right to dismiss you due to your health problems, that is totally outrageous. I realise the prospect of legal action can be daunting and potentially expensive but you should be able to get legal aid and it sounds as though you really have been badly treated here.

how can start this priocess of a law suit
user

You'd need to get legal aid. Try and find a solicitor who works pro bono. Anyway I hope that I have been able to give you some help and guidance and that things look up for you in the very near future! Try to hang in there.
