Navigating unemployment challenges after being fired and quitting a job in Oregon

I recently found myself in a tough spot after being fired from my job at a local retail store in Oregon just three days into my employment. Before that, I had quit my previous job without notice due to serious safety concerns that I felt wouldn't be addressed. I know it was unprofessional, but the situation was dire. After waiting six weeks for my unemployment claim to process, I reached out to my state representative for help. I learned that the unemployment office is currently adjudicating my case, but there's a chance I might not be eligible for benefits. I'm really worried that quitting my last job is going to affect my eligibility. I've spent a lot of money trying to relocate to central Oregon in search of better job opportunities, especially since I couldn't find any work in southern Oregon. Now, I'm feeling hopeless as my phone is about to be shut off, my tires are bald, and my insurance has been canceled. I'm just waiting to see what happens next, but if they deny my claim, I'm not sure how to appeal. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
