Mareyame's
Story
Mareyame and her 3-year-old son, Cameron,
had to start their lives over after Mareyame’s
boyfriend was killed last year. They
moved to a new apartment and Mareyame found
a job with Easter Seals, but without her own
car, Mareyame was having trouble getting her
son to daycare and herself to work on time.
In spite of her employer’s notes that
Mareyame is “reliable, trustworthy and
a hard worker,” Mareyame felt her job
might be in jeopardy because of her lack of
reliable transportation.
Since receiving her car, Mareyame
and Cameron are enjoying life again. Not
only is she feeling secure in her job, Mareyame
enrolled Cameron in a better-quality daycare
center (not within walking distance) and is
able to enjoy quality time with him on the
weekends, going to the park and to Chuck E.
Cheese. |
