“With the help from my Employment Specialist, I did things I didn’t think I could do!  She helped me get a job and finish my GED. She even helped me enroll in classes at GRCC.  I’m really proud of what I have accomplished so far. I know a good life is out there for me and my kids. Thanks to everyone at WRC for not letting me give up.” - Women’s Resource Center Client
