M could not have started her new job without their help. M has been very successful at her job, impressing her co-workers with her work ethic. She has been promoted from dishwasher to prep chef. Our team is working with her to navigate the cultural differences in negotiating pay raises that exist between American and Mexican culture. M is also attempting to get a driver’s permit. She is working with tutors to prepare for the written test.
The children will both be attending daycare starting in June. We are in need of transportation volunteers to get them there. Please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0f4ca4a928a2ff2-jtatransportation. Car seats will be provided. Thanks for your continued support of this family.
