TWC has helped me reach my goal. I started TWC with two young children and pregnant. The Advocate helped me with my résumé, and I was able to get a job at Walmart once I had my baby and was released to work. They assisted me with purchasing clothes for work and always encouraged me to work toward my goal of getting a full-time, stable job.
