I'm a grandmother raising my granddaughter. I've worked my entire life. I lost my job a couple of years ago.I searched for jobs non stop. When my unemployment ran out I wasn't sure what was going to happen to me and my grandchild. I knew of the Women's Empowerment Program and I turned to them. These people were so compassionate and caring. They talked to me and they listened. They helped me to be able to stay in my home, and food in our stomachs. Their trying to help me to find work. I've seen these women sit on street corners in 100 degree weather selling raffle tickets for an I-pad. After one of them had just had knee surgery. This organization goes the extra mile to help the people in our community. I've seen them pay for medications for diabetic patients. They've helped people to get back into school to give them hope for a life style that won't land them in poverty. That is their biggest mission is to give them hope of getting out of poverty and making their life's better. To me they are guardian angels.
