You Did It for Me  —  Wanda graduated from a Catholic Charities financial literacy program that gives participants the opportunity to work on personal change and move toward self-sufficiency. Wanda had her first child at 18 and dropped out of school. She thought selling drugs would help, but she was arrested. Suddenly she had no income, no diploma, and a felony on her record. She decided to set things right and contacted Catholic Charities, which has helped Wanda to secure a part time job, work toward finishing her education, and get her felony expunged. Wanda believes God has her on a “new journey,” and she intends to stay on it. Visit www.CatholicCharitiesUSA.org
