International Women’s Day: Choose to Challenge Poverty. Empower Women like Tina.
When Tina came to CEDA, she was struggling to keep a home for her children, working part-time, and just trying to get by. She was two months behind in rent, at risk of eviction, and desperate to find a better job to keep her and her family from becoming homeless.
Tina came to CEDA and started working with Kori, a CEDA Vocational Program Specialist – who first assisted in finding rental assistance so Tina could avoid eviction. Finally, with someone in her corner, Tina realized her dream of getting her commercial driver’s license to become a professional truck driver could become a reality. Kori helped her enroll in truck driving training and she became one of the fastest to finish her certification. She also scored 100% on every element of her training, which helped her maximize her earning potential
She needed help.
Tina changed her life in partnership with CEDA. Help empower more women now.
Tina went from $6.50-an-hour bartending to a $20.75-an-hour full-time paycheck with full health benefits! She also participated in CEDA’s financial literacy workshops. Tina used what she learned to invest in a 401k plan and has $5,000 in a savings account!
Will you answer the challenge and create change with your $25 monthly investment? You can create meaningful change in a woman’s life, the community, and for the future.
