I was on federal probation because of drugs and my probation officer suggested I apply for this program. After doing the work and classes at Women’s Bean Project, everything is falling into place. I was hoping to get a fresh start on life instead of continuing to go down the wrong path.
I am rebuilding my life and Women’s Bean Project has helped me through my challenges. I am now studying for my GED and just got my own housing and am back on my feet. My three kids and I are not struggling as hard anymore. I have learned so many aspects of the job that I can integrate into my life. I work with people instead of getting caught up in the drama.
My number one motivator is my kids, who have made me realize that I need to get my life together for them. Now they are happier that I have a job and can take care of them.
Anything is possible if you try. That’s what is true for me!
