Carmen’s Journey to a Career
Carmen's journey is one of courage, perseverance, and the unwavering hope for a second chance. As a single mother, she faced overwhelming challenges, and without the support she needed, she made choices that led her down a dark path. Carmen was sentenced to prison, and for five long years, she and her 17-year-old son, Elijah, were separated during some of the most critical years of his life. Milestones like his graduation came and went, moments Carmen longed to share with him. Elijah went to live with his grandmother, and while they were physically apart, Carmen's love for him never wavered.
Wesley’s Success Story
Wesley's journey with St. Joseph the Worker began in February, but his story of resilience started long before that. As a child, he survived a traumatic near-death experience. His adolescent years were burdened by undiagnosed mental health challenges, leading to frustration, substance abuse, and ultimately homelessness.
Larry's Path to stability
Life can be unpredictable. Sometimes, circumstances beyond our control can upend everything we’ve worked for, leaving us in despair and uncertainty. But with the right support, those same circumstances can be the catalyst for a fresh start.
Larry is a proud military veteran who served 9½ years in the United States Army and knows the meaning of sacrifice—first for his country, and then for his six children.
Daisy’s Fresh Start
At 68, an unexpected divorce left Daisy homeless in California. With no family to turn to, she relied on her decent wages to stay in hotels until her money ran out. In search of stability, Daisy moved to Phoenix and became a caregiver for a friend. For ten years, this partnership provided her with a home. But at the end of 2023, her friend passed away, leaving Daisy once again without a home or a job.
