Hi! My name is Emily Oates. I am a HR Generalist at Parker Towing here in Tuscaloosa. We would like to talk to someone at the Tuscaloosa DHR office in regards to kids who are aging out of Foster care. We have very lucrative job opportunities that not only provide an income, but a roof over our employees heads, and company provided meals/drinks while at work. Our employees work a series of tow boats up and down the rivers. While working living on our boats the company takes care of these employees 100%. So this would be an ideal job for a kid aging out of Foster care that needs a all of those things. I am happy to discuss further. Please contact me via phone or email (205) 242-8005 or eoates@parkertowing.com

So not fair that DHR let someone go over the supervisor head to have kids placed in a home where they don’t know anyone instead of placing them with the grandmother who was listed on the safety plan
