| JUDY TRESSLER - FRANKLIN COUNTY |
| Judy Tressler recognized the desparate need for a new start for her and her two daughters. Judy found it difficult to survive, she needed help with child care, she didn't have a driver's license and she was sharing the responsibility of caring for her elderly mother. |
| Through the Franklin County Assistance Office, Judy was referred to the Supported Work Program. Through hard work and determination, Judy secured employent, obtained her driver's license, bought a car, and secured reliable childcare. Judy was hired by a cleaning company at Target. Not long after being hired, Judy was promoted to a supervisor's position and given a raise. |
| Judy states, "I think SCCAP is a great agency." Judy said, "I feel at home here. Everyone is encouraging and goes out of their way to help you. If you have the right attitude and commitment when you come here, you will succeed. I am glad SCCAP is part of my family's life." |

| JOANNE HAYNES - ADAMS COUNTY |
| A mother of two young children, Joanne Haynes found it difficult to make ends meet each month. Even with WIC and other services through SCCAP she was still struggling to survive. The 24 year-old woman's path to self-sufficiency was riddled with road blocks including a lack of reliable transportation. She also found it difficult to find quality childcare for her children.
|
| Through a referral from the Adams County Assistance Office, Joanne was assisted through the Supported Work Program. In addition, she received assistance from the Weatherization Program and the Child Care Information Services Program. |
| Joanne states, "I feel SCCAP is a wonderful organization for many reasons, one being the Supported Work Program." Joanne says, "It helped me to overcome my barriers and to discover my strengths and weaknesses. It also gave me the incentive to pursue my goals and become successful in life. I hope this program remains active, so it gives others the opportunities that were given to me." |
