After receiving a $100,000 grant from The City of Miami we have been able to employ two women full-time, and cover all the logistical costs associated with WOW, as a result they have transitioned beyond life in a shelter and into full time job security. We are enormously proud of this and though this alone is an accomplishment it’s necessary for our organization to continue growing. We would like to see the successes of the two women currently employed at least triple. We plan on doing this through continued donations.
