Client Profile
After running with the wrong group of people and making some very bad choices, Rebecca realized she needed to make a change in order to get her life back on track. She moved into a basement apartment with a person whom she trusted. Soon after, the situation turned violent and Rebecca decided to leave. Finding herself homeless, jobless, and eventually pregnant, she moved into a temporary shelter. When her baby was born Rebecca was determined to turn her life around.
Mother and daughter moved to a WIN shelter last July. Although leaving her newborn in the child-care facility has been difficult, she is extremely appreciative. It gives her the opportunity to focus on getting a job without having to worry about the welfare of her child. Through one of the many programs offered at WIN, dedicated volunteers have helped her create a resume and develop interviewing skills. Armed with renewed confidence and a sense of purpose Rebecca is actively searching for work. She recently came back from a promising job interview gushing, “It makes all the difference in the world knowing that the team at WIN want me to succeed!”
With a stable place to live, free child-care and extremely supportive case workers, Rebecca has finally made some good choices. “It is very rewarding knowing that I am working hard to build the life I want for me and my daughter. I am looking forward to the day we have a place to call our own. I have WIN to thank for that.”
