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.
