Home Story Library Meet Jamie: A Life Changed Because of You and a Career Coach

Jamie found herself a single, homeless mom with four children. She grew up in a difficult and hopeless childhood situation – with no support or encouragement. And like many children who grew up in poverty, she was on track to continue the cycle of poverty with her own children.
But Jamie is strong; and wanted better for her children and her future. She reached out for help and was connected with a Career Coach, made possible by donors like you and United Way.
Their support partnered with her determination led to being trained as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), getting a stable apartment, and ultimately breaking the cycle of poverty for her children. She is so proud of the home she shares with her children.
