María Rodríguez-Morales hasn't added a story.
My name is Maria del C. Rodriguez I’m from Puerto Rico and I am 31 years old. In May 2007, I completed a BA in General Psychology and in December 2010, completed a Master in Rehabilitation Counseling. In February 2011 I created the nonprofit organization Sex-Habilidad whose mission is to provide and promote training, guidance, counseling and education in human sexuality and disability, professionals, people with disabilities and their families.
I have been saving to buy a vehicle that can adapt to my needs (van), which can cost $30,000 to $40,000, but as recently as October 31, 2013 I was layoff of my job. I’m looking and looking for a new job opportunity, but the reality is that getting a job is currently an arduous task. Not having transportation limits my choices of places to work, making it difficult to save the money I need to reach my goal of obtaining my modified vehicle.
Being able to have a vehicle that I can drive, will help me achieve more with my project Sex-Habilidad to provide guidance and workshops in different areas of Puerto Rico, and would increase the possibility of getting a job. Also it would be possible to continue my goal that is to complete doctoral studies.
Blessings
Thank you!

Mi nombre es María del C. Rodríguez, soy de Cayey, Puerto Rico y tengo 31 años. En mayo 2007 completé un bachillerato en Psicología General y en diciembre de 2010 completé una Maestría en Consejería en Rehabilitación. En febrero de 2011 creé la organización sin fines de lucro Sex-Habilidad que tiene como misión proveer y promover la capacitación, orientación, asesoría y educación en sexualidad humana y discapacidad, a profesionales, personas con alguna discapacidad y sus familiares.
He estado ahorrando para comprarme un vehículo que se pueda adaptar a mis necesidades (van), las cuales pueden costar entre $30,000 a $40,000 dólares, pero tan recientemente como el 31 de octubre de 2013 fui cesantía de mi trabajo. Después de hacer estado más de dos años laborando en la misma escuela, realizando con excelencia mis tareas asignadas y dando lo mejor de mí para el bienestar de la escuela.
Me encuentro buscando y buscando trabajo, pero la realidad es que conseguir trabajo actualmente es una tarea ardua. El no tener transportación limita mis opciones de lugares donde trabajar, lo que me dificultad aún más poder conseguir un trabajo y poder continuar ahorrando para lograr obtener mi vehículo accesible para ser conducido por mí.
El poder tener mi propio vehículo conducido por mí, logrará que pueda darle más forma a mi proyecto de Sex-Habilidad y brindar orientaciones y talleres por diferentes áreas de Puerto Rico, a su vez aumentaría la posibilidad de conseguir un trabajo. De esta forma continuar con mis metas que entre ellas está completar estudios doctorales.
Bendiciones.
¡Gracias!
