New York — Although working, ironically enough, for a bankruptcy specialist in Troy, Justin Lecea still couldn't manage to afford his car and rent payments.
Then the tough times got worse six months ago, when the 26-year-old Flint native lost his job at a law firm. With no prospects in sight after months of looking, he trekked to New York City's financial district for the ongoing Occupy Wall Street demonstration.
He entered the OWS home base at Zuccotti Park — now referred as Liberty Park — on Oct. 4, and immediately said to volunteers there, "I want to help."
The offer landed him a position manning the "info center," which sits on the north side of the park facing Broadway Avenue in lower Manhattan. He's put in 12 hours a day since then, pointing people with questions in the right direction around the now fully functional community situated in lower Manhattan.
