Lenny痴 Success Story

Lenny came to the shelter from Lincoln. He had been out of work for several months. Lenny is a 40 year old male who has severe hearing loss. He wears hearing aides. Lenny was able to effectively utilize many of the resources at Care Corps and several different community resources. Lenny worked with Vocational Rehabilitation Services and was able to get new hearing aides for himself while doing so. Lenny became part of the Rotary Club in Fremont while staying at Care Corps. Lenny applied for many different positions and seemed to be having very little luck for several weeks. He felt he was held back because of the fact that he is hearing impaired. However, Lenny was very persistent and knew how to effectively utilize the community. Lenny recently started a job at a local apartment complex where he is their maintenance person. Along with this job comes an on-sight apartment that he can live in so that he is readily available to the tenants.
