Approximately seven years ago Carol McKinney, a Texas Rehabilitation Commission Counselor, called me with some astonishing news.  Paul Begales, the TRC regional Programs Director had visited the Plano field office.  He met with the Vocational Rehabilitation Commission counselors.  He told these VRCs that they could no longer take referrals from me and to cease doing business with my organization, My Brother's Helper Inc. 

I had been referring handicapped clients to TRC for years.  They in turn would refer many of them back to me for various services that I provide.  Some of the services I provide are, helping clients with a resume, and teach them job getting and job keeping skills.  The main service I provide is teaching a security course and helping handicapped people get a job as a security officer. 

The vast majority of the people that I assist are at a disadvantage when competing with non handicapped people in the job market.  I sort of give them a leg up.  I try to even the playing field for them.
