When Julie* lost her job, she felt her world falling apart. She gathered her things, said goodbye to her coworkers and tried to think of what she would tell her five children when she got home.

She combed through her already tight budget and tried to find ways to scale back while searching for a new job. As weeks went by, Juliehad to make increasingly difficult choices and soon began to run low on food as she fell behind on her monthly expenses.

With no job lined up and no hope in sight, Julie made a phone call to Mission United. After speaking with her personal case manager, she was connected to United Way nonprofit partners who ensured her children were fed and healthy and her family remained safe and housed. Once her immediate needs were taken care of, the conversation shifted to helping Julie develop an action plan for self-sufficiency and finding meaningful employment.

Today, Julie works full-time in a career that she loves and her children are happy and safe.
