Our residents are able to find employment within 30 days of coming to Daylight Ministries. One of the residents found a job within two weeks, thanks to the funding we received from the United Way of the Capital Area. We can now provide clothing to wear to interviews and bus passes for transportation. This year we had three graduates from the program.

Michele was able to accomplish her goals of getting a job, getting her GED and going back to college. She has decided to make Jackson her home so she went and got her two boys, ages two and eleven, from New Orleans and enrolled them in school here. Also her mother is living with her to help with the boys.

Valerie is working at McDonald’s where she is Crew Trainer. She has worked and saved enough money to purchase a vehicle. Now she is looking at the possibility of buying her first home. Valerie has also decided to make Jackson her home. She has her cosmetology license and plans to start her own business soon. She is from Columbus, MS.

Angela is working nights at Waffle House in Clinton. She found a real nice apartment in walking distance to her job. She plans to move back to Louisiana in a couple of months.

Thank you United Way for partnering with us to help break the cycle of addictive behavior and crime, for being a part of these ladies restored lives and of those who will follow.
