Melissa's story
Now watch and listen carefully to Melissa's story.
This is Melissa, a supported employee.
And this is Charlie, a supported employee who works with Melissa.
This is Sue, Melissa and Charlie's supervisor.
Melissa brings $10 to work each day to buy morning tea and lunch.
Charlie asks her most days to lend him $4 or $5. This has been going on for months already.
Melissa does not like lending him the money because she does not have enough for herself then, and also because Charlie does not pay the money back to her.
She is scared though, because Charlie has threatened that he will tell all the other workers something about her. Melissa is not sure what he is going to tell, but she is very worried about it.
Melissa feels too afraid to tell anyone about her problem, but she doesn't want to keep giving her money to Charlie. She decides that when Charlie is not around, she will tell Sue. She trusts Sue and thinks she might be able to help.
