Now looking for a job

Diagnosed with ABC at 32 years old.

I was a 32-year-old SAHM when I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. My kids are school-aged now. I'd love to re-enter the work force part-time, but I don't know how. I'm dealing with a 9-year gap in employment, plus an inability to stand for long periods of time (or even relatively short periods of time). I can no longer get a job in my field. I don't have the physical or mental capacity to do that kind of work anymore.

‍

Pre-pandemic, I volunteered for the local radio station, 1 day a week for about an hour, reading newspaper articles over the air for people who are unable to read. The amount of self-worth that small opportunity provided me was life-changing. I was able to interact with other adults in a professional environment. I was contributing positively to some stranger's life. I was helping to make the world just the tiniest bit better. My mental health improved, even though my physical health was hit-or-miss.

‍

I don't know how to find a job that can/will meet me where I am. Who is hiring for 2–4 hour shifts 8 hours a week that doesn't require standing, lifting, bending, etc.?
