Keisha's
Story: The Keys to a Brighter
Future
Starting Right, Now
and Wheels of Success Help with a Home, a
Job, a Car and New Hope
Keisha,
a soft-spoken single mother of four, was in
trouble. She had no home, no car, and
no job, but she never lost her faith. Her
prayers were answered when she found help from
the non-profit organizations Starting Right,
Now and Wheels of Success.
Starting Right, Now assisted Keisha with finding a new apartment and securing
a full-time job. Then they referred her to Wheels of Success.
Keisha
used to take the bus to work and had to leave
her home two hours before her shift began in
order to make it to work on time. She
had to rely on her sister to pick up her children
from daycare. By the time Keisha got
home, there was little time left to spend with
her children doing the things she wanted to
do, like helping with homework and preparing
nutritious meals.
All that has now changed. Last
year, Keisha received the keys to her future
at our 1st Annual Biggest Aquarian Birthday
Bash. Since that time, Keisha
has been promoted to management, and she is
attending night school with the hope of getting
an even better job.
Her car has
opened many opportunities for Keisha and her
family. Keisha
enjoys driving home from work and spending
some unrushed time each evening with her children
to prepare for the next day--and her kids are
now able to participate in extra-curricular
activities, like football and soccer at the
local YMCA.
Keisha would like to express her
sincere thanks to everyone who has made these
live-changing events possible, and she has
hope for even better things in the future.
After successfully completing the WOS program
this year, Keisha received the title to her
car at the 2nd Annual Biggest Aquarian Birthday
Bash!
