Ohio mom uses social media, side hustles to make ends meet during government shutdown: ‘No days off’
Fox News
Natalie Folino, an Ohio stay-at-home mom, documents side hustles on social media during federal shutdown as government employee husband works without pay.
Bonny Chu is a Digital Production Assistant at Fox News Digital.
"Currently, my husband is an essential employee for the Department of Defense, which means that he is still going to work every day," Folino told Fox News Digital in an interview. "He's commuting 40 minutes every way, but we are just not receiving a paycheck, which is a little problematic for a family like mine, who is a single-income family."
Folino was already growing her social media brand before the shutdown, but now her side hustles are taking on a whole new significance. Due to the shutdown, her family has been without her husband's income for 29 days and counting.
