During her time at the Shelter, the staff helped Heather explore self-care and meditation in a safe environment. Through her hard work at St. Paul’s Center, Heather was able to start working part time. Soon her part-time job became a full-time position when she impressed her employer with her strong work ethic. During this time, Heather was walking over a mile each day to pick up her children after work, which speaks to her determination and fighting spirit.
