When I walked into the doors of FRC I had lost almost everything. It has taken a lot for me to admit to myself that I am an addict and at the age of 34 I had allowed my addiction to take over. Most of my life was spent on building and creating my dreams of becoming a teacher. In 2005 I graduated CSUSM with my BA in Liberal Arts and a multiple subject teaching credential. However, I entered into the education field at the time of the California budget and for 8 years I was pink slipped and rehired into a new position. The last two years of teaching I began to discover my addiction. I was able to block my feelings and depression behind my addiction. But, within a few short years my children were removed, my car was reposed, I was evicted from my home, my students loans went into default, and my debt continued to pile up. I truly had destroyed my entire life.

I had no idea how difficult it would be to rebuild my life. Living here at FRC has given me the chance to rebuild my self-worth and now that I am in the work readiness program I am slowly able to accept that I can live outside of these walls. I wanted to express my experience with you because there are truly no words that can express the gratitude I have for the Dream Keepers. You ladies are more than amazing! You have given me hope and the feeling of worth. The clothes that you have given me show that people do care about me even without knowing me. It lets me know that someone has faith that I can be successful again.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Windy

Hi, we have received your generous donation of our career clothing and shoes and because of your kindness I am ready and prepared to attend a job fair tomorrow morning where I hope to gain employment and after 6 months of hard work I will begin to start rebuilding my life. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. You truly are keeping dreams alive for myself and many other women like myself. I really appreciated the opportunity to attend your Christmas event and tour one of the lovely homes! Treating us to lunch was a lovely treat.

Hello my name is Georgina and I’m currently in Ms. Judy’s work readiness class. I would like to say, “Thank you” for the opportunity to have clothes that I can interview in and feel successful. I would also like to say, “Thank you” for giving me an opportunity to greet at your Christmas Fundraiser Event for the Beautiful ladies at FRC.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank your recent donations to FRC. The pants, shirts and clothes are much appreciated. They are not only functional to finding work, but they are very stylish, as well.

It was also a very fun experience in attending your recent Fairbanks Ranch fundraiser. I was very honored to participate in the event as a door greater. The In and Out lunch was a big BONUS to the day.

Again, thank you for all that you do for FRC. Your generosity has impacted, and helped to give me hope for an actual life in recovery.

First and for-most I would like to start off by thanking the Dreamkeepers team of ladies by letting you know how you have impacted my life in such a positive way. You have helped me to realize my true values in becoming a young woman with worth and furthermore have given me an unexplainable inspiration that I will continue to use as my motivation to pursue my dreams as a Mother and Woman with a mission as-well-as Vision.

Thank you for allowing me to give back with my Voice and sharing such a Wonderful Day with You, I would also like to take this opportunity to express how thankful I am for the amazing Work Readiness clothing you have provided me with to help prepare me to re-enter the workforce field.

Ms Aubrey

I wanted to personally thank you and any other people that are involved in your charity. My group in ‘Work Readiness’ at FRC is ready for our first job fair tomorrow. I feel very fortunate and I am grateful for the clothing I have received. I am going there full of confidence and hope for my future. These gifts are what will help get my foot in the door for interviews and eventually a job. I am mentally prepared and looking good at the same time, this is a feeling that I haven’t possessed in a long time, thanks to the Dream Keepers I can show myself off professionally.
