Success Stories Title
Soraya came to us fleeing an abusive arranged marriage.  She came in a shy girl who had difficulty looking anyone in the face.  Now she is a college graduate and works as an executive assistant at a car dealership.

Richard came to us after his only family, his grandmother, passed away. Richard had some untreated health issues as well and at first was very reluctant to see a doctor.  Today Richard is healthy and works with a security alarm company.

Claudia lived on the streets and in shelters for the better part of 5 years while struggling with her mental health issues.  It took a lot of time to develop the trust needed to Claudia to get the right kind of treatment.  Today she is the poster child for a youth apprenticeship program.
