Imagine messing up big time. We’re talking committing a felony and going to prison.

Once you’ve done your time for the crime, should you have to pay for the rest of your life?

The woman in this story has learned the error of her ways. All she wants is honest work, but that’s starting to feel impossible to her.

Let’s see what’s going on.

I’m a convicted felon & apparently can’t work anywhere

I caught a federal drug charge in 2021 it went through fully in 2022.

I’m a 24 single mom looking to be a productive member of society but because of this charge no one wants to hire me.

She’s not sure what to do.

I paid my debt to society & have nothing else on my record but this one thing continues to break me down.

I feel helpless & like a failure.

What do they expect me to do go back & sell to make a damn living. (I wouldn’t but I’m tired).

She never gets hired.

Every job I apply for calls me back but once they mention a background check I’m honest & the conversation is over.

It’s not like I can lie about it. Whatever’s in the dark always comes to light.

That’s so sad. How is she supposed to get a job? Surely someplace will give her a chance.

The comments on Reddit had lots of helpful suggestions.

Apparently there are lists of employers willing to hire felons.

This person was in a similar situation.

Here’s another industry to try.

Another felon shares an industry that’s hiring.

Here’s another industry she could look into.

Hopefully someone will hire her.

She deserves the chance to prove herself.
