MARCH 2008 GRADUATION

Gloria Webb and her three children (D’Angelo-10, D’Andre-9, Arianna-14) became homeless and came to the Providence House in Aprl of 2006, after losing their trailer home due to fire and suffering from financial difficulties. With the help of the Providence House, Ms. Webb received her GED while working the Providence House Program; subsequently, she enrolled at Southern University to acquire a degree in Phlebotomy. Ms. Webb is proof that you can change your life and get on the right path. “All it takes is will and determination, and you can succeed. My kids have become more thankful for the things they have. The staff and other families help motivate and encourage me a lot.” After graduation, Ms. Webb’s long-term goal is to save enough money to buy a house.

Donor Bill of RightsProvidence HouseImagine … a community where no family is homeless.

Providence House always mentions the success rate of families who graduate from the program. But many never get that far. For a variety of reasons, the many families who seek shelter at Providence House’s program for homeless families sometimes do not graduate from the program. Some continue to struggle while others return later or find success on their own.

Tricia Ward and her three boys lived at the shelter more than 10 years ago. She didn’t leave the shelter under the best of circumstances, but she carried the lessons with her. Last month, she earned her RN-Nursing degree—a goal she set for herself in the shelter. It also gave her the confidence to contact Ms. Simone Hennessee and thank the staff for their help. Now, she hopes to volunteer at the Providence House and share her story with folks in a place she knows all too well.

Congratulations Tricia!!!
