John
has been living on the streets for over a year and
doesn’t have the money for a Starter membership.
One day a friend tells him about Chimorel. John walks
into a library and logs on to www.chimorel.com. Right
there on line he applies to our Client Assistance
program. He sends an email describing: (1) why he
needed assistance, (2) his willingness to work and
(3) what kind of work he could do. He didn’t
understand it yet, but he was applying to our Client
Assistance Committee to cover his $50 fee.
The program
tells him how to create an email address on Yahoo,
which he does. In his first return email John is given
five people to contact. He sends them emails. The
next day John logs on to his Yahoo email. Each person
had replied to John’s email and asked him to
answer some questions. John answered one of them with
a lack luster response. This person emails John back
suggesting he get serious. John gives up and goes
out to pick up cans for today’s wine bottle.
At the recycling center someone mentions Chimorel
again. John gives them the finger and walks out not
even getting his wine money.
