Monica was 19 years of age and struggled with addiction. She has now been in recovery for eight years and has started her family. I assisted Monica with transportation assistance to and from doctor appointments, meetings with her aftercare worker, to and from work, and helping her get the necessities among many other needs. Monica has had success since being her mentor and support. She graduated from high school, obtained stable housing, and gained employment with me as a reference with her job search.

Caleb was 18 years old and struggled with academics, school attendance, positive use of leisure time, “gang” involvement, and discourage association with peers engaging in delinquent activities. I assisted Caleb with providing transportation to and from tutor sessions after school, obtaining employment, attending juvenile court hearings, teen pregnancy, and being a positive role-model/mother figure. Caleb has recently faced a tragedy in which he was injured from a gunshot wound in the neck. Caleb is currently a quadriplegic.
