Supporting Brad Essex

Our friend Brad Essex is having a rough time. Many of you have known Brad since the good ol' Tea Party days of Twitter. He's a hard-working guy who has cerebral palsy, but doesn't let his disability define him. Brad's stuck in the tough in-between spot where he's been told he's not disabled enough to get SSI, but definitely needs job accommodations and many managers haven't been willing to fully understand his limitations and work with him.

Brad was recently laid off from Wal-Mart and is busily applying for jobs and going on interviews but hasn't been hired yet. He's been trying to file for unemployment but has been having technical issues with the website. He needs money for rent and living expenses by January 1st - please help if you can. The minimum amount he needs is $1100 but I set the goal for $2000 to account for processing fees and give him a tiny cushion.

Also, if you are in the Tulsa area and can help Brad find a job, that would be appreciated. There's also the possibility that he could have a discrimination claim against his former employer, so any attorney referrals are also appreciated.
