Firsthand Perspective
An email response from a client assisted years ago. Her message to others in a similar situation — don't give up!
This post came to me as an email response. I emailed back to Tonuya and she encouraged me to share her words with as many people as possible. What a great testament to the power of a helping hand offered by GSH!
Hello, this is Tonuya (last name omitted here for her privacy). I wanted to share a story with you. Some years ago, I came to Good Shepherd seeking assistance. I have 2 kids (now 21 & 13) and now a grand daughter, however, for about 2 years now I have been off of housing and self-sufficient. I have a Bachelor's degree (I will pursue my Master's next year) and a well paying job. Please let everyone know that furthering their education and consistantly pursuing a job in their particular field will take them further than they ever imagined. Tell them to never give up. I would like to thank staff members at Good Shepherd and Nancy Taxson (Homestretch) for assisting me.
