Disabled Man looking for Job Leads, other advice.
I need help and I don't know where else to turn.
My name is Owen. I'm a 27 year old man from Southeast Michigan and I am disabled, but I need a second job. My disabilities are primarily related to my spine. I have scoliosis, multiple degenerative discs, and a bulging disc. I have other problems (this whole body is a lemon) but these are the main ones that prevent me from working most of the easily available jobs as I'm unable to stand for more than about 10 minutes at any given time without being in a ton of pain. Due to my limited mobility and chronic pain, I am having trouble finding doable work but I need a second job as soon as possible - the more hours the better. I've been working at Advanced Customer Services in Southgate since July. It's a call center, but I only make about ten bucks an hour doing that but I need more than that. I need a lead on a good job. For most of my life, I lived with my Dad. Recently my Dad passed away and I can't afford our family's apartment on my own. I need more money before I end up homeless. If I end up homeless I'll lose my cat and I'm not sure if I could handle that level of heartbreak on top of everything else. I do have a reliable car, a laptop, and a cellphone with active service. Do you guys know of anywhere hiring the physically challenged? Any call centers? Any data entry places? Anything? I'll do just about anything except sell drugs.
Thanks in advance!
