LEONARD MAYBERRY’S PATHWAYS

TO (SELF) EMPLOYMENT

Leonard Mayberry praised the Pathways to Employment program as both practical and a form of group therapy.

“You go to a job interview in a wheelchair, you can’t hide it.

You go through 100 `no’s’ to get to one `yes.’ I’m still looking for that one `yes,’” he said.

“The city medically separated me – they say ‘you’re broken,’ Mayberry said.

“I’m the kind of person that the minute you count me out, you made a big mistake — I’m not going quietly.”
