I walked into ReIGNITE Hope for the first time and heard Pastor Steve giving a sermon. It's what I needed to her. I tried to commit suicide 5-6 times. If it hadn't been for ReIGNITE hope, I would have gone back to drugs and alcohol. The class saved me. God saved me.

ReIGNITE Hope has a heart you don't see in the world. It's a hidden gem for sure. I am anxious to see the WINC, Women in Non-Traditional Careers, program in action and want to be a part of it. I plan to stick around and volunteer.

In 1997, my twin brother was shot and killed. One of my close friends died in my arms. When I was shot three times, I thought to myself, "I need to turn my life around." From the time I met the instructor, I got a good vibe. He helped me with my temper, lack of patience and taught me to be humble. I now have a great paying job and the future is bright.

I was in the military, homeless, just out of prison and had few friends. I heard about ReIGNITE Hope at my church. Jami told me about the new Veterans class they were starting. It was just what I needed. I enjoyed welding so much, I never wanted to go home. Now I'm anxious to see how my future will unfold.

I'm a certified welder. I never thought this could happen. Will this skill and certification, I'm on my way. The words ReIGNITE Hope says a lot, means a lot. My hope for the future is reignited for sure.

I was just out of the military and had no focus and didn't know where I was going to land. I never thought at 35, I would be back in school. But here I am. Never too late. With this under my belt, I can get a job and have momentum.

ReIGNITE Hope was an unexpected blessing. Welding was something I fell in love with and didn't know I could love it. Plus, I drew closer to God. It was blessing.

I think of ReIGNITE every day. This school has done so much for me no words can say. Saved my life. I couldn't be more grateful. It reignited my soul and spirit. I'm Saved!
