STORIES OF CHANGE

“I wanted to give my daughter the best

start possible. She loves to learn and I

want to keep feeding that love, with the

belief that it will continue to grow as she

does.” –Fanny

STORIES OF CHANGE

“With the self-confidence I got from the

Disability Network, I joined another group

to learn to read and write in English. Their

support allowed me to move into my own

home and manage my own budget. My

next goal is finding a job.” –Leonce

STORIES OF CHANGE

“After a fire destroyed my home, there wasn’t

anywhere for my children and me to live. We

went from shelter to shelter. With help from

Human Resources, Inc, I was able to find an

apartment where my family could come

together and begin to heal.”

–Julie
