”I have received so much support from the staff I’ve learned it’s okay to chase after dreams. They’ve opened my eyes to so many opportunities and helped me accomplish goals that I’ve dreamed of but thought I would never be able to live.”

I’ve learned how to cook chicken and steak.”

“This 18 months is a time to build my future. I’m earning my diploma, going to college, developing job skills, saving money, finding housing, and becoming a better parent. When I graduate from Tubman House, I’ll have a big party and everyone will help me move my stuff into a big, ol’ place."
