I lost my job in 2003 tried to get another one, went to college and tried for a job then. i have had no luck at getting a job. Besides who is going to want to hire someone that has a crutch to help them walk? They won't say that of course but I know that is what some of them do. I am only 36 yrs old and can't seem to get anything to work for me. Any other ideas? If so please help. Even if I don't know you I am still asking for help.

Sincerely,
Tracy
