She took out a loan to purchase a $16,000 camper she could use as a residence. <\/p>\n<p>But she was let go about three weeks into the job. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel very disrespected,&#8221; Saffian told CBS News. &#8220;\u2026I cycle through being angry, sad, distressed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since President Trump took office, thousands of federal workers have been fired <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-first-cabinet-meeting-white-house-elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">by the White House&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency<\/a><\/span>, or DOGE, which is headed up <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-elon-musk-government-workforce-cuts-opinion-poll-2025-03-02\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">by billionaire Elon Musk<\/a><\/span>, as part of the new administration&#8217;s efforts to enact major budget cuts. The layoffs at the park service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/aboutus\/organizational-structure.htm#:~:text=National%20Park%20Service%20staff%2C%20volunteers,and%20protect%20your%20national%20parks.&amp;text=More%20than%2020%2C000%20employees%20work,throughout%20the%20National%20Park%20Service.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">amounted<\/a> to about 5% of the agency&#8217;s workforce of approximately 20,000 employees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Park service jobs can range from collecting entrance fees to cleaning up trash to conducting search-and-rescue missions. The agency oversees more than 85 million acres across the U.S., such as the Buffalo National River. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s one of the only places I can go to and just kind of completely forget everything that&#8217;s going on and just have a sense of peace when you&#8217;re here,&#8221; Ramsey said of the river. <\/p>\n<p>Ramsey worked along the Buffalo National River as its only permanent river ranger, saving dozens of hikers and boaters on search and rescue missions. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is, like, home to me for sure,&#8221; Ramsey said. <\/p>\n<p>Losing the job to her is more than just losing a dream or the income it brought. Every eight weeks to manage her Crohn&#8217;s disease, Stacy has given herself a shot that, without health insurance, would cost $27,500, almost her entire annual salary with the park service.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With health insurance, the shot was $5. But her health insurance expires in less than 30 days, and without the shot, she says she could end up in the hospital. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These thousands of employees terminated are all real people,&#8221; Ramsey said. &#8220;They&#8217;re all people who have families, who have mortgages, utility bills, bills to pay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> For both Ramsey and Saffian, finding a job with benefits will be harder because they moved to the remote Ozarks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to, you know, live my life at the end of a string,&#8221; Saffian said. &#8220;I have to come up with another plan to make this work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> They are left wondering if their sacrifices paid off. Ramsey says she is still keeping her park service uniforms &#8220;just in case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Says Ramsey, &#8220;Hopefully, I&#8217;ll get it back into the park service eventually.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from
