Maintenance at Mcdonalds

Hi my names david

I been putting applications in all over and people say that I'll get hired on really really fast but as soon as I tell them I don't have a high school diploma or GED they hang up on me I mean my mom was sick and I was in 9th grade so I dropped out to help her and I got shot when I was 14 I am 27 now getting ready to turn 28 I am missing three ribs on my right side a kidney he damaged my liver and my right lung and I was not supposed to work but they kept denying me disability for Social Security so I had to push my body way over the limits for two years. I have done flooring for 8 years subcontracted and then I wanted to do something different so I became a dishwasher at Belterra Park which I hate doing dishes and I will not do that again and I worked at McDonald's and they kept sending me home early because not enough business and not enough money to pay all the employees so they would send a lot of us home early and then they was supposed to pay every two weeks they messed up on my mind and I didn't get paid for 3 weeks and then the same thing happened 2 weeks ago so I quit I actually got paid 3 days ago and I had to pay past bills that were due for the last month which screwed me for this month my phone is getting ready to get turned off my insurance is getting ready to drop me I have valid driver's license just no car at the moment because I hit a hole in the road lost control of the truck and hit a tree head-on it's going 45 to 50 in a 55 which I should have never gotten out of the truck alive and I took my seat belt off at the last second that's what saved my life and I still got a seatbelt ticket because no matter what can't take your seatbelt off so I guess next time I'll leave my seat belt on and possibly die and he also gave me a failure to maintain and I have to pay insurance the ticket before the 17th my insurance gets cancelled and then I have to go to court and then that would be on my record my girlfriend ex-girlfriend let me here at her foster parents house and she's been gone since December 23rd and I lost both of my parents and this is the only place that I have so they took me in as their Foster son help me get my license the first time 7 months ago and insurance and I was driving dad's truck so and only that I have to do all this for myself I have to get him another truck because that is right thing me to do even though he told me not to worry about it I put three weeks of men hours into that truck $450 of my own money into it I put new brakes rotors tires stereo door speakers nothing fancy because it was blown and I was fixing the odds and ends of the truck because it was a 1996 Ford F-150 5.8 V8 best motor Ford made and I crumbled it like a beer can I'm a good mechanic fast learner I'm Hands-On you show me how to do it and you let me do it and I'll learn Within that day or the next then and I can fix anything I put my mind to I am decent with electrical stuff and Plumbing so if I ever had a house I can do everything myself and to be honest I know about 20 people that has graduated from High School and they have their diploma and I know some that has g d's and they are not very smart not trying to be mean but I was just stating the truth and I mean I may not be book smart anything like that but I am really really smart and talented because I had you do everything the hard way instead of being there and moving a pencil I had to train my body push myself and I had to do it on my own until about July 4th of last year when I moved in here that is 76 - 72 and he is a retired Marine I do everything for them because I want to and it's the right thing to do and I fix anything and everything for them they asked me to do something I dropped what I am doing and I will do it for them at home and I treat them good and they treat me good I just can't ask Dad for money because I already said so much this is why I'm desperately needing work and if I could work at home and spend time with them I would love to to please somebody get back to me and don't hang up
