Success Stories
When I was released, my felony kept me from getting a job and I lived on the streets. Then the unimaginable happened. My parents lost their home to Hurricane Maria, moved to New York, and asked me for help. That’s when I knew I needed a change.
A counselor at my homeless shelter told me about HOPE. I learned new computer skills and how to make my past experience as a cook stand out on my resume. I had lost touch with who I was. HOPE gave me a new platform for life.
