Tatianna is just one of the women who has rebuilt her life, thanks to you and CityTeam @ Work. She came to us following ten years of addiction and homelessness. She knew that, with her history, work might be hard to find. “I didn’t know how to do anything for myself,” she says. But our team of mentors and volunteers from the community walked alongside her the whole way. She worked hard and never gave up. Our career counselor helped Tatianna get in touch with prospective employers, apply for jobs, and interview with recruiters. One job with an organization that works with the homeless looked like a great opportunity. “I felt very capable and fit for the position,” she says. “I knew it was something I could do well.” She got the job. Tatianna says, “After ten years of homelessness, I’m so thankful for this job and a new life. CityTeam and my new employer both gave me a second chance at life, to be a contributing member of society, and to live life the right way.”
