One of our staff was born with disability, missing his right forearm and upper arm with only one healthy left arm.  He was rejected by his biological mother at birth due to his disability and was raised by his grandmother.  His has two other brothers, both from different mothers. He suffers an estranged relationship with his father, since his father often lashes his stress and frustration onto him.  Both his father and stepmother have lost their job and the family is struggling to pay rent in the recent months.  We came to know him through a key volunteer here at M9 and was informed to us that he is searching for part time work.  He has since learned to manage all of our drink orders and marinating meats.  He is an avid learner and is proactive on the job.
