Hi My name is Robert I’m 47 years old. I am a felon who has no luck at all in getting a job. I’m about to go back to jail for child support. If people would give me a chance to prove to them that my past is my past. then maybe they would see who i really am. I need a job that will give that chance. To be honest i don’t know how much longer i can keep going. I need help. Is there anyone who can help me?
