Your Support Gives Hope and a Brand-New Start to Families Like Bridgette’s

Suddenly, Bridgette found herself homeless, alone, and with no way of providing for herself or her daughter. She needed help to start over and turned to The Salvation Army. After meeting with a case manager, Bridgette was enrolled in our Pathway of Hope program, which helped her establish goals like: secure housing, continued education, and eventually, employment.

Two days later, Bridgette entered The Salvation Army’s Family Shelter, where Bridgette’s case manager helped her revamp her resume and participate in a job fair that quickly earned her an interview for a customer service position.

Meanwhile, Bridgette connected with the Educational Opportunity Center and was accepted into their medical billing and coding program, which will provide her with critical vocational training that will enable her to secure long-term employment, so she can support herself and her children in the years ahead.

Through Pathway of Hope’s individualized and holistic services, Bridgette was able to move into supportive housing that provides her with ongoing services, including case management, trauma counseling, and child care while she pursues further education.

In just two months—thanks to YOUR support of The Salvation Army, Bridgette moved from homelessness and despair to self-sufficiency, hope, and a bright future filled with possibilities!
