Testimonials
New Life Connection and Ms. Anita, Thank you for helping find this great place for me and my boys. Having a safe place for my family was important to me.
Coming home to so much uncertainty was scary. New Life Connection helped me figure out my next step. When Ms. Anita told me to dream bigger than my current dreams, I thought she was a little crazy. Every time I saw her-her comment was “Cassandra – What if?” I began to say what if I’m successful? What if I can do all the things in life I want to do”. Her comments always made me take a look at what I was doing and think about what I want to do. I am inspired!!!
New Life Connection has provided me a different way to see myself. I only knew street life before I was incarcerated. I believed I could only work in certain jobs. Ms. Anita taught me that my vision for myself was not big enough. I appreciate the phone calls and visits, because of her I feel certain that I am destined for more than my old thoughts.
I am not good at sharing my thoughts, but at a group meeting Ms. Anita made me feel comfortable. She told me she knew I would talk when I was comfortable. I don’t think anyone ever saw me until that day. Thank you Ms. Anita.
That lady that works with New Life was hilarious, but mostly she was straightforward and I like that. She told me she could see through my wall and that I could be real with her. She didn’t say wall but I don’t want to say what she really said. Because I lived most of my life in the street I don’t know a lot of people who is willing to be honest with you. I appreciate that
