One family supported in a Circle has been able to increase its income by 23% and to earn full-time benefits. The woman was able to get resolution on a cosmetic health issue that was keeping her from reaching her goals.
In another Circle, a woman took her small business to the next level with a marketing strategy that has enabled her to attract new clients. With the support from her Allies, she has started a speaking circuit that informs others here and around the state about the benefits of her product. Also, she recently returned to college.
A third woman, who only recently entered a Circle, was supported informally through OPT dinner participants and by our staff. Since last summer, she has gone from zero income to $15,500 annually. She just received a donated car through the Car Link program and is now working with her allies in tackling issues about her substandard housing. |
