A new website, Help the 99ers, aims to connect 99ers — those who've exhausted all available unemployment benefits — with people who would like to help them.

The site has a "Help Board" organized by state, where 99ers can post their stories, including their job histories, their immediate needs and a contact email address.

Those who want to help can browse the stories, provide job contacts if applicable or offer short-term monetary support for "those struggling to pay the rent, stay warm or put food on the table."

There's also a Jobs forum available, where job seekers, employers and entrepreneurs with ideas can connect as well as a collection of links that 99ers will find very useful.
