We can count more women who needed to be in this session. They are out there. We're aiming at women in need. Women who don't have the skills to have a job or don't have their GED. We don't care what kind of situation they're in.
We celebrate that this is a new start of their lives. We celebrate that they are self-sufficient. When we say self-sufficient, we mean that they have a place to live, transportation, child care and a job for six months, with benefits if possible.
We'll give them a hand up, not a hand down. We're teaching them to take care of themselves. I like to see them laugh, because laughter is good. I like to let them know someone cares.
Financial help is really what we need right now. We also need lunches for the fall classes, mentors and babysitters.
Everything has been given to us. God has blessed us with everything we need.
I have seen an age range of 17 to 67. Single, married, widowed, divorced, any women who needs help.
