Success Stories
Barbara Green
Barbara Greene works as the Director of a child care facility in Lynchburg and truly enjoys her job. In order to maintain employment and continue meeting the needs of local families, she needed reliable transportation.
Barbara has experienced significant loss in the last year; not only did Covid impact her as it did so many others, she lost both of her parents in 2020. Since then, Barbara has taken on the role of caring for her grandmother and dependable transportation became an even greater need to support her family.
Through Ways to Work she has continued to improve her credit with excellent payment habits and now has trustworthy transportation to meet her and her family’s daily needs. The Ways to Work staff are a constant support for Barbara and have enjoyed the opportunity to build a lasting relationship.
Shekia Stukes
Shekia’s vehicle left her stranded in more ways than one.
The breakdown of her car had not only left her on the side of the road, but also caused issues with her employment. At work, her manager recognized her value as an employee and was doing everything possible to keep her on board. However, her job required her to have a reliable vehicle in order to consult with clients at locations throughout the area. Without her own transportation, she would lose her job.
Through the Ways to Work program, Shekia was able to purchase her own reliable vehicle while improving her credit. Your generosity provided the support she needed to become the top sales person in the area and even earn two sales leader awards. Because of you, Shekia has stabilized her finances and increased her income by more than 50%.
