A local gent who is legally blind but employed is seeking a reliable form of transportation for his varying shift schedule. When he doesn't have a ride, he walks or hitchhikes the 12 mile route in either direction - he is a committed worker! The individual lives in Plainfield and works in Brooklyn and is willing to pay a small stipend as reimbursement for gas to the individual(s) who would make themselves available for any of these trips. Understanding that one person would not want to offer this on a regular daily basis, several individuals are being sought for this opportunity. Get in early and pick your best days of the week, others will help too!
Jobs are hard to come by, let's help this man keep the one he has!
