Additional Information

I have not worked in 20+ years because I was given disability and social security and 25 years old and wasn’t aware I could get a part time job or I would have been working this whole time. I need extra money to start living a life that doesn’t consist of all my money going to every day things. I don’t even make $1,000 a month. So I pick up on things pretty fast and have a very great happy and positive attitude if u just give me a chance. Thank you!
