TO (SELF) EMPLOYMENT
Leonard Mayberry had his own place and was working as a supervisor of a bridge inspection crew for the City of Houston.
He had
worked hard, with his hands and body, all his life – learning to be a welder at
age 18.
“I worked on some of the biggest high rises in Houston.
I used to take people to show them where I welded my name into a spot,” he said.
“I always told my bosses to give me a full day’s work, because
I wanted full pay.”
When he left rehab, Leonard Mayberry moved in with his parents – in their 70s – because it was more accessible than his home, though not outfitted for a person who uses a manual wheelchair for mobility.
