619 S. Normandie Ave. # 16 Los Angeles,CA

Summary

I have been disabled since 1997. Currently seeking employment. Volunteered working in homeless outreach first with my church, Oasis, and then with Ktown For All, an advocacy group for the homeless population in Koreatown, Los Angeles. I am seeking employment serving a population with very quiet or even silent voices as I believe that they could be angels unaware. I am also interested in working in recovery as I am a recovering addict and active in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Quote

You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important.
James Baldwin
