When your life comes crashing down all around you, it’s really hard to pick yourself up without some help. This is Heather’s story.

Justine first learned about the Women’s Resource Center as an inmate in Kent County Correctional Facility. Here is her story in her own words.

“During times of unemployment and job searching, it is so uplifting to have those positive boosts to motivate you to keep moving forward.”

“Every time I attend a Women’s Resource Event, I find my confidence improves.”

TaLinda, Cassandra, Sarah, and Connie persevered to find resources for their family during the shutdown.

“My coach Julie was the best. Any time I needed to talk to her, she always picked up the phone.”

“They never made me feel embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help.”

“Thank you for your help not only with my resume but with giving me the confidence that I could pick myself up and move forward.”

“Determined to Change” Stacy was battling addiction and an eating disorder while incarcerated in the Kent County Jail.

“I was Seeking a Lifeline” Michelle was referred to Women’s Resource Center a few years ago by a friend who was receiving services at the time.

“There isn’t any part (of me) that you’ve not touched on.” At the urging of her mother, Denise sought help from Women’s Resource Center in 1979 as part of the Displaced Homemaker program.
