| From Homelessness to Home: Veteran Success Story |
Meet Steven, a Veteran whose resilience and determination have transformed his life in remarkable ways! Four years ago, Steven found himself facing homelessness after Hurricane Michael struck. With just a few clothes and a 20% VA disability, he turned to 90Works for help during challenging times. Thanks to the unwavering support of the incredible team at 90works—Steve, Daniel, and Barbara—Steven began his journey towards stability and success. Fast forward to today, and Steven is celebrating four years in his own apartment! He also has never missed a rent or electric payment! With a credit score of 743, Steven's financial future is much brighter than ever before. Steven proudly owns not just one, but TWO vehicles—symbols of his hard-earned independence. Steven's story is a testament to the power of resilience, community support, and the transformative impact of organizations like 90Works. His success is not just his own—it's a victory for every Veteran facing difficult times. Let’s continue to uplift and empower individuals like Steven as they rewrite the narratives of their lives, one success story at a time!
