I wonder who didn't see this one coming?

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Henrietta Hughes is still struggling to make ends meet.

Unemployed and homeless, she caught national attention during President Obama's visit to Fort Myers when she asked for his help. After her plea, Hughes was given a free place to stay, but she still can't find a job and may soon find herself homeless again.

From CNN to Fox to WINK News, her story was everywhere. Today though you'll find her at the Career Service Center in Fort Myers.

"It's almost our second home," Henrietta said of her time at the center.

Adding to her worries the house she's living in for free, is only temporary. Representative Nick Thompson's wife, Chene, owns the home and is allowing Henrietta to live there until it sells.

"Thank God for Mrs. Chene Thompson for allowing us to stay in her house," Henrietta said.

If she has to move without having a job, Henrietta fears she'll be back at square one -- living in her truck.

Though she hasn't had to pay rent, Henrietta says she hasn't saved much money either. Her bills are often more than her income. Now she's praying her story ends how she hoped it would. "Get a job and get on to do things that I decide to do," she said.

I wonder how the woman is doing that asked Obama to pay her rent and gas bill?
