I am a very grateful and hopeful participant of the Bridging Program. I am a survivor of devastating circumstances that led me to homelessness. I've worked hard all my life, employed since 10 years old. I am an ex-military wife who raised 3 awesome children on my own. I am a grandmother overcoming PTSD and a cancer survivor. I'm very excited to be one of the first few females to start working for Restore Merced next month. I've also signed up to go back to college and continue my education.
