Hi Friends and Family!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for Inspiration Corporation.

I have been a staff member at Inspiration Corporation for almost two years, assisting people in improving their lives through obtaining meaningful work, returning to school for further education and training, and finding resources for housing, medical, and mental health services. To learn more about Inspiration Corporation, please visit www.inspirationcorp.org.

I would like to share a story with you about the work that I do at Inspiration Corporation. I first started working with Sherry (pictured to the right) in April of 2011. Sherry came to Inspiration Corporation after continuously battling against addiction and homelessness. After months of working together on resume writing and interviewing skills, Sherry accepted employment as a part-time cook in July, her first job in over a year and a half. She has just moved into her own housing, and Sherry has even started working toward obtaining her high school diploma, a life-long goal of hers. “We are in a struggle every day, but we don’t have to be out there alone because there is help out there for us,” says Sherry. 

Sherry has overcome and achieved so much, but still needs assistance in gaining full-time employment and further training that will give her the stability and support she needs. As a career specialist in Inspiration Corporation’s Employment Project, I work with over 100 people who are experiencing similar situations to Sherry. As my organization is struggling and as we continue to face budget cuts and lose government funding, I am asking you for help. You can be a part of Sherry receiving the employment and training she needs to support herself, and also support many more remarkable people working hard towards their goals.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

 

Love,

Charles
