We have taken steps in assisting her to rebuild her life by registering her child in a new school and making sure she has all of the home essentials, including furniture and clothing.  By staying connected and seeking support at the encouragement of our opportunity coach, she knows she is not alone in this journey and has people she can rely on for understanding, support, and empowerment to keep moving forward.

Team Member Perspective

One of our diaper client families has taken incredibly brave steps to remove herself and her children from an abusive situation.  She is actively working towards building a better life. With referrals to our partner programs, she was able to leave an abusive relationship and create a safer and happier environment for herself and her children.
