When I first came to Our House, I had never lived on my own and did
not know how to take care of myself and my children. Now, thanks to
this program, I feel like I can make good decisions and am able to live
on my own.
- Portia Jordan
Women at Work is a mentoring program that helps female residents set
and accomplish short– and long–term
goals and improve self esteem. As a
mentee, Portia has worked very hard
setting goals and meeting them. Even
when her mentor is busy, Portia has
taken it upon herself to get the resources she needs to reach her goals.
She has learned to manage the stress
of being a single mother and has
begun to build strong, healthy relationships with her children.
Portia has used every service Our
House offers. She is a great example
of what our program can do for those
who are willing to keep an open mind.
Throughout her journey, she has remained open to suggestions and has
remained willing to try. That effort has
produced the beginning fruits of a
hopeful life.
Our House is very proud of Portia!
