mr torres

i interviewed a man for a job who told me his tale. he was one of triplets, born in egypt. his mother egyptian and father from PRico.his mother was ostracized in her village for marrying a catholic. She was humiliated and when she had her child, she showed hte village a still born child . She then went on to have two more sons, even she didnt know she was having triplets. She hid the babies in a chest of drawers until her husband came from the states to rescue them..the youngest child died of malaria and that left the man i was interviewing.
he told me that his son and father were killed outside of his last job in NY. Going to NY became difficult and he ended up being laid off from that job.
he had no ties to NYC so he flipped a coin and moved to Dallas.
He had a friend in dallas and called and offered to open a novelty store with his friend. He had 18,000 dollars and his friend had 13,000. THe man did not suspect that his partners girlfriend had a coke habit and cleaned out their joint bank account. he then found himself evicted from the apartment he was living in with this friend in Dallas. so he had to enter the shelter system for a place to live.
as he was a job developer and career counsellor, he started working at the shelter for his stay..
when it came to hiring him and paying him at a salary he thought he deserved, they delayed and delayed, having him work and develop the program. when push came to shove, they explained they were a baptist organization in waco texas and wanted to hire only baptists
faith based organziations can do that even if they accept federal monies

so he came back to NY and is looking for work
