I do not work at the courthouse but I work about a block and a half from it it’s called the GROW GROUP they work with people with different disabilities. And I told them that for meetings I need a sign language interpreter. And then him and the office manager said it was my job to call. And I said no it is not it’s your job to call when there are meetings. And then on Monday right when he said he was going to put their hands on me that’s when I started to feel uncomfortable and no longer want to be there.

I did whole heart plus and gave them the location they couldn’t find it on their Google map so they said they cannot book a ride if they cannot find the location. And I told the office manager that three times and she refused to give me the address and she said why don’t you look it up yourself and I told her I can’t because my Internet Wi-Fi was not working right. So after the fourth time she finally gave me the address.

But I know longer feel comfortable working there I do not feel safe and I don’t Byam it when I went in yesterday I went into a different room shut and lock the door because I don’t feel comfortable in there when I got threatened about putting their hands on me to make me smile I felt threatened and unsafe there. And they said I’m in mature because I emailed my vocational rehab counselor asking her for help to help me solve this matter so the guy told me up in mature for emailing her and telling her what’s going on to ask her for help.

Oh and to let you know he found it that company back in the 80s 90s. And this is how he treats Amari he hired to work with them threaten them saying they put his hands on me I don’t feel safe there anymore. And we have a meeting on the 24th of next month and I’m going to tell them if this doesn’t work out I can no longer work there.

My VR counselor agreed with me he said I’m right that it’s their job to provide a sign language interpreter. After I’ve been there for 90 days the first 90 days we are counselor called and set up the interpreter for meetings that after the 90 days she told me it’s their responsibility and that’s what I told them and they told me no it’s not. That it’s my responsibility because I’m so independent I said it has nothing to do with it it’s your responsibility not mine can yada one that hired me and they work with people with different disabilities I don’t think they work with anyone who is blind or deaf they work with those with different levels of ADHD and wheelchair

And then I explain that the heart plus cab has me flagged because when I call a cab to pick me up from SS office to go to the grow group on E twigs it will take them 3 or 4 hours to pick me up. after 3 or 4 times then he finally listen to me.And on the same day they r saying u don't smile for the work pitcher on Wednesday 19 they will put there hands on me to make me smile. And I felt uncomfortable and no longer safe. On Monday 16 I was told the sane thing agin.
