Before she knew it, Alana had achieved her first goals. You can see her excitement (pictured right) as she began working in the service industry, obtained a drivers’ license, and saved up enough money to purchase a car. Alana is still focused on moving forward to a job in her chosen career field.

Alana was dedicated and consistent, never missing a scheduled MWA appointment or deadline to turn in her hours. While getting Temporary Assistance (TA) benefits, Alana had to participate in some type of job training, job search, or other qualified activity for 20 hours each week.

Through this experience, Alana gained the confidence to overcome her gap in employment with the support and guidance from TA, MWA and ResCare. These programs helped Alana reach her goals, and these programs continue to move others toward a more stable, independent and fulfilling life.
