After losing her job, her children, and her home, Judy Thurman was tired of living with no hope. She completed a CWJC job readiness program and began working at the Humane Society. This 2000 Dove Award recipient was able to move into a home with her children and purchase a car. Her faith helps her through the difficult times.

Life's circumstances left Sheryl Barrett (pictured on right) a homebound adult with no job skills and no real ability to function outside of her home. She dreamed of becoming independent and buying her own home. Her mentor Laura Cook (pictured on left), now describes Sheryl as a woman of confidence and self-reliance.
