Community Leader- Postal worker

Here in St Francis There are plenty of community leaders. After thinking of who I could possibly contact for a leader my decision was finalized. I spoke with one of y neighbors; Coy age 26 is a postal worker who delivers mail he has a wife son and daughter to support. He has been working there for 1½ years. I asked him what his opinion is on the issues we are facing in the community. Coy said; “first money is the issue that seems to be holding most of us back. As well as it’s a very tough time to find local jobs to secure your family and future”. I agree myself my number one concern is having a job, and making sure I have a reliable vehicle to get to work. When you live out in St. Francis commuting is not the easiest thing with today’s gas prices! If you have a family with young kids such as Coy’s the last thing you want to worry about is money. People need to eat right! So as every one of our community leaders whether it’s a church pastor, a politician or an owner of a business or even a mail man we all have worries and definitely have opinions about what the people of our community is worrying about. Without a job in today’s economy people may not know what their future looks like, if they will have a job to support their family or where they will live if their home goes into foreclosure. It’s So important for a community to stay strong together!
