Hey Patrick! Thanks for sharing your location. What legal issue are you facing?
Job Corps discriminated against Dale for having a disability and they even tried to lie about it when we tried to report them for the discrimination.
And in a biblically based Church they wouldn't have a woman being a pastor anyway. Her job is a job corps admission counselor but she's a pastor on the side.
On top of that, she said rude things to my brother like can you even wake yourself up in the morning? And can you read what is on the paper? She said those things about him because of his disability
