The YWCA helps thousands of courageous women and families rebuild their lives each year.
These are families with responsible, hard-working breadwinners who want to get ahead, but hold down low-paying jobs with inadequate benefits. They are often one life crisis away—a job layoff, an accident, an abusive relationship—from becoming homeless. When these crises happen, the YWCA steps in with support, services and resources that can help them get back on their feet.
These women display astounding personal strength and incredible depths of wisdom. The following stories showcase how they struggled to find safety, stability, and self-sufficiency.
