Finding Financial Stability

Donna* came into shelter after leaving her abusive husband of 15 years. Financially, Donna had nothing. She had been working with an organization that downsized due to the economy. She came to the Social Service Center with nothing but a suitcase and a coat. After a couple of days she was hired to do retail full time. Donna budgeted her money well and within two months had an apartment of her own.

Donna continues to participate in the Continuing Support Program and meets with her case manager weekly.
