STORIES OF SUCCESS
Our clients are some of the hardest-working people you’ll meet.
KENDI
“Unity Care helped me achieve my dream of becoming a Paramedic and of having a career that allows me to build a nest egg for my two children and me. Everything is possible when people care and you have the right people and support behind you.”
NELSON
“The hardest thing I’ve endured has been growing up without a Dad to teach me about life. My dad left when I was a 3, and my mom was too overwhelmed to take care of me. That’s how I ended up in foster care. Every day is a challenge.”
ANGEL
As soon as Angel aged out of foster care, she began couch surfing. She had to. Finding an affordable apartment or a roommate to share one with was a challenge. But that didn’t stop Angel from having bigger plans for herself.
In fact, she's on her way to a personally and financially fulfilling career as a Certified Nursing Assistant Associate!
Thanks to our generous donors, we were able to offer Angel a scholarship to offset the cost of her CNA program. CNAs play a critical role in the healthcare sector. They manage patient activities, such as bathing, dressing, and toileting, as well as taking and recording vital signs. The program requires approximately 60 hours of classroom instruction, 100 practicum hours, and passing a state exam.
Soon, Angel will earn a starting salary of approximately $20/hour, with significant room for career growth. She has her eyes set on moving into her own place, and thanks to you, that dream will soon become a reality!
