Dear Friends and Supporters,
We want to thank you for your continued support and share with you and amazing success story:
Alberto is a 24-year-old Marine Corp Veteran who served from 2011 to 2016. When Alberto applied for assistance through Texas Center Point Veterans Services he had recently moved from Houston to Austin and, finding himself homeless and unemployed as a result, was living in temporary housing at a local shelter. Alberto explained that he was experiencing difficulties in securing employment and permanent housing.
Once enrolled in Texas Center Point, Alberto received intensive vocational preparation, training and job placement services. He also received a range of supportive services provided through donations from GlobalGiving such as bus passes to conduct a job search, vouchers to purchase basic necessities and food coupons for use at the local Walmart.
A week after enrollment Texas Center Point placed Alberto in employment with a security company in Austin and he is now preparing for permanent housing through a referral from his Texas Center Point Case Manager to the Supportive Services for Veteran Families housing opportunities. Alberto’s success story was made possible in part by donations to Global Giving which provided him with essentials for self-sufficiency and a renewed sense of dignity.
Your donations through GlobalGiving are making an impact in our Heroes!
