Requesting vibes for my baby brother.

My baby brother, Brody, will be 17 next month. He is the love of my life, a character through and through and as much as I love him, he's a huge pain in the butt.

Brody has Down Syndrome, is incredibly high functioning, and wants nothing more at this point in his life than to gain a little bit of independance. Mom is a single Mom, so I have always helped raise Brody, and none of us have ever treated him like he has a disability.

The reason I am requesting vibes is because later this evening, Brody has a job interview for McDonalds! I am SOOOO excited for him, he is thrilled and we're all hoping for the best. He's been wanting a job since he turned 15 and it's pretty much all he talks about. The local McDonalds is great about hiring those with special needs and they are a great company to work for. I know from personal experince as I had my first job there as well.

Any vibes you could send his way would be greatly appreciated!

Yay Brody!!

And lots of that he gets the job!

Go Brody! Lots of for the job

Oh good....here they come

Job vibes for Brody

Oh, that's so great and uplifting to hear!!!! Awesome, strong vibes for Brody!

Sending many 'getting the job vibes'
He sounds like such a wonderful kid and wanting to get out and work is not so common today with kids so I applaud him.

That's fantastic, way to go Brody!

He sounds like a good guy; I'm sure he'll do great! I was picturing your "baby brother" to be much younger.

Aww, he sounds awesome!

MEGA from Mulvane, KS!!!!

Tons of "get the job" going out to Brody

I really hope Brody gets the job!!!

Here's hoping for good news - you sound like a great family!

Sending mega prayers and vibes that Brody gets the job of his dreams with a wonderful, compassionate crew

Here's hoping he gets the job! Keep us posted.

Sending many get the job vibes for him!

You guys are so awesome.

I just talked to Mom. I guess he'll know by Friday, but Mom says she didn't get a good vibe. He was there for all of 5 minutes and they didn't talk to Mom at all.

It's a waiting game now.

I hope he gets a chance. My 19 year old daughter is M.I.D (mildly retarded) She wants a job so bad. No-one will give her a chance.

I'm sorry I'm late to the pre-interview vibes, but I'm sending my vibes he gets the job and your mom is happily surprised!

I worked - many years ago - to help develop job programs for people with special needs at employers. McDonald's and the supermarkets - both local and chain - were great.

Marianne and Kailie - have your daughter/brother looked into opportunities at pharmacies or supermarkets?

My daughter has applied at every supermarket, grocery store in town, and all fast food restaurants. I really hope Brody gets his job,
