I was first introduced to Cara by the Owens family and attended a couple fundraising events over the years. Through those events I quickly realized this organization was different. What struck me was the real impact Cara has on its participants and the community. Cara gives its participants hope for a better life and a second chance to turn their lives around through hard work and perseverance.

Everyone goes through some type of misfortune or has a misstep along the way, thankfully Cara is there to pick those less fortunate up.

To put your donation in perspective:

- $28 gives a Cara participant a 7-day transit card to get to Cara

- $50 covers the first deposit for a Cara participant to open a bank account

- $115 means a Cleanslate intern gets a pair of work boots

- $200 covers an eye exam and glasses for a Cara participant

- $500 gives one-time rental assistance to keep a Cara family in their home

- $1,200 gives 2 weeks of Cara's critical training to a motivated job-seeker

- $2,500 lands one Cara candidate into a permanent job

- $4,500 gives an employed Cara participant two years of retention and career-advancement coaching

If you are able, please donate to help this cause I believe in.
