    Hello Milwaukee Neighborhood New Services,
    I am a student, Precious Xiong, from South Milwaukee High School and living in the city of Milwaukee. I have been living here for 15 years. I am currently looking for a job but cannot find one because of my age (15). I have been searching on the web and looking for advertisement for teen jobs. I need a job so I can support my parents and my siblings. I have applied to other jobs but they will not accept my application due to my age. If you may help me find a job near my location please email me asap! Thank you for your time!

    Sincerely,
    Precious Xiong
