Anybody else feel like me? Why am I saying it will work out, when its not!!! Too many years of bullshit. I was 18 with an battery charge guilty by association. Took that charge but WTF now im 26 and yall still with the bull. Im done with the being positive. Where my real peole at, they rather see us in jail then living free. Look up the documentary called "another name of slavery". I am a believer of Jesus Christ but this is hell on earth for us "you" and my family. Why can't we get a chance to be a citizen???? I have went to every website, group, organization or state agency that claims to help felons but have not seen anything but resume writing. I AM NOT DUMB I NEED HELP!!!! All theese websites are fony. The only thing that works are the ads sponsered by google. Lets be real. I hope I don't break and do some stuff to make the news. Im loosing my house becuase of this. What is a man to do. NO DISRESPECT BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. Why call on Jesus if im suffering like this. "Nothing is impossible with Jesus?" Well how do I get closer because I feel getting a job and living a normal life is impossible at this point. Someone help please my family will be on the streets any day now.

Signed a citizen at birth
now a false citizen by label.

Started a job last month $9 hr. because on the app. it said list felonies with in past 5 yrs. Mine is atleast 8 yrs. I worked for one day till the background came back. They said I failed to disclose of my background. Of cousre I contested but like every other company no one gives a shit. Found a data entry position for $8 "temp" work but was offered a "perminate" position elsewhere $8.50 in web design which I have an A.S. for. So I took that job, once started the guy only gave me less than 30 hrs within a 2 week span so I did not return because I wasted more in gas than I come home with to support my wife and 3 kids. The data entry job I tried to regained turned me down becuase I chose other employment. Fast forawrd to 5/10/2013 interview went awesome, offered the job on spot $11 an hr. then asked the dredful question.... how does your background look? I answered honestly an was told they would speak to HR to push it thru becuase he really wanted me to work there. Then was told by the staffing agency I could start on 5/20/13 but last night 5/17/2013 the email came back I cannot work for the company..... FUCK IS THIS???

Another week with kno success however i remain with God in my heart.

Hey Ryan79...welcome to the group!! With no money and no job, how are you supporting yourself??

Listen to your heart. For it will never lead you astray. This is a freeing realization. Aside from being good to yourself, and to others, it’s very important that you trust your intuition. Constantly force yourself to think outside of the box. Understand that the most successful people broke and continue to break conventional thinking. Ignore people who say your dreams are impossible - they are limited by their own perceptions. It's necessary for you to practice expansive thinking.

Create a positive environment where you can learn and thrive. What you create maybe completely different than someone else's - but don't worry. The more you challenge established norms, the more you will live your truth. The less you fear, the more you will accomplish.

Stop worrying about other people's opinions of you. Along your journey, people may call you a dreamer, or say that you’re lost in the clouds. Take heart. The world needs its dreamers. Every measure of success we have ever known emanated from a dream.

Sometimes, the only obstacle between you and your goal is YOU. You have greatness within you. Don't be afraid to realize it.

When we are young many of us have made poor decisions and have ended up as Felons for life. Therefore finding a job is near impossible. I have an enormous amout of skills yet can not find a job in this economy. On foodstamps now and medicaid. I would rather work for mine. My first offense was in 1987 convicted 1988. Did my time for 1st degree assault on a fight I had with a girlfriend of my husband...I was 21, married with 4 children. I had a husband who was a drug dealer and considered a king pin..well I got conspiracy for his charges. All in all I was sentenced between the state and federal system to 10 suspended after 6. Did my time,never got in trouble in prison.Came homeand I was given an opportunity by a great company and I worked there for close to 15 years. the company moved and I was laid off, since then its been hell. My past has caught up to me. The stress of it all caused me to become very ill, panic attacks anxiety and deep depression. I ended up living and helping my father who is blind and my mom with dementia and niece with downs. This was too much to handle and work was near impossible.I have had a job here and there but my parents were sick and had to care for them. Now i can't get work at all, because I am a convicted felon. I do not use drugs but have made mistakes,always have been anxious and my sister started stealing from my dad and I. She came into my home and I asked her to leave, that lead to an arrest after 25 years of staying out of any trouble. Raising 4 kids on my own who have become great independent adults, married with children. Hard workers and never hit the streets. Now I feel like I am letting them down as my past has not let me go. How can this end....

Stuck with no house to call home because of my felony

I am in Springfield Missouri

Had a good job my boss knew I was convicted, he even told me that I would still have my job even after sentencing, but a week after sentencing he was on vacation an the big boss called me and told me I was fired. I have had no work, now no home, am looking for anything that can help me survive,

I know I have made mistakes in the past that is affecting every aspect of my life currently. I am a mother of 2 and I know people can change if they want to; I am living proof. If someone would kindly give me a chance and see what a good employee that I am I know that they would be pleased. I also have an associates degree in business and many years of experience. Thank you and hoping to be speaking with you soon.
