East
Wednesday, where he mans the information desk at the building entrance from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “I direct traffic,� said East, who goes by his initials H.F., helping visitors find the right office when they come in. He also uses his computer skills to assist several departments with spreadsheets and other tasks. Enrolled at J. Sargeant Reynolds in architectural and industrial design, East is looking for paying work, he said. “Right now I’m almost kind of bored,� he said during an interview last week at the administration building. But he feels okay and has adapted to his disabilities. “I can do pretty much anything with my left hand,� he said. And that’s why he hopes to be able to take a special driving course through Brant’s Driving School, the organization that brought a special Honda van to Woodrow Wilson last March. East said he drove it for two hours. Having such a van to use and knowing how to drive it would make all the difference in
his job search, he said. But money is an obstacle. The driving course would cost about $8,000 and the special van, equipped with a joy stick and other devices so he could drive it, could run to more than $100,000. “We’re trying to see if DRS (the Department of Rehabilitative Services) will pay for the driving school,� said East but says the going has been slow working with the agency. Occasionally he gets “down in the dumps,� he says when he thinks his goal of being able to travel on his own may not happen. But meanwhile the Sisters of Ruth women’s group at Forest Grove Christian Church, where East and his family are members, have raised about $9,000. They’ve got a long way to go but are planning fund raising activities in the near future to help East achieve his goal of independence.
