Teresa
"The tools that they gave me and the
networks that they connected me with
enabled me to not go back to prison, to
not be put on parole, to not be homeless.
Being at Carroll’s Kitchen gave me the
opportunity to truly find myself.
They empowered me to take charge over
my life and to see challenges as
opportunities. They believed in me and
that helped me believe in myself."
Teresa's story has come full circle - She is now the intake coordinator at StepUp Ministries, one of our closest community partners.
Layla
"I didn’t realize what that felony would do to my record. Carroll’s Kitchen was the first place that actually gave me a chance with no questions asked. Not only did they give me a job, but they treated me like family . I didn’t feel discriminated against or like I had to work extra hard just to counter balance my record.
They helped me gain confidence in myself and created a new environment for me, as well as giving me a family I now
belong to!"
Layla received a full scholarship to Wake Tech, and is studying Cybersecurity.
Ashley
"When I was released from prison in Raleigh, I didn’t know anyone. What I did know was that I wanted something different for my life. The amazing women that I have had the honor to work with will probably never know how much of an impact they have had on my life.
They loved me and believed in me until I could do it myself - they gave me my confidence back."
Ashley's nursing license has been reinstated, and she is back in the medical field helping others.
