GHH Ladies "Walk the Walk" and "Talk the Talk"!  Saturday, June 25th was an incredible morning! More than 2,400 walkers and four bands gathered at the Angels Baseball Stadium in Anaheim, California, to raise funds and awareness against poverty in Orange County. Called "United We Walk" the event was coordinated by United Way of OC and other community sponsors. Approximately $150,000 was raised to benefit local nonprofit partners helping others who just need a chance at life. GHH is one of these partners! GHH residents not only participated by walking but many shared their stories, strength and hope about how Grandma's House of Hope has helped them to achieve a new chance at life. |

Success Stories
"Hope Works!"
"God can do immerasurebly more than we could or imagine".
 "I Can Support Myself!"
I came to to Grandma's House of Hope in April of this year from an abusive marriage and had to leave my home. I was only working a temporary job at the time and it ended in September of 2010, and couldn't find work. Always having a job or falling right into one, I had never been unemployed for more then a month and never had to use a resume. Julia in our "workforce development" program helped me with preparing a resume, cover letter and job applications. Putting me through some mock interviews gave me the edge I needed.
My job search went for 3 months and now I have a great job! It is permanent dispatching job for an ambulance company. "I can support myself!" I am forever grateful for Grandma's House for their dedication, love and hard work! Thank you so much for helping me..I will never forget you or how I got here!
First Paycheck in 2 1/2 Years!
When asked about GHH and what is one unique aspect of the program Elizabeth responded. "I heard about GHH by calling 211. After speaking with Je'net, I knew that this was the program I needed to be in at that time. What made the most impression was the length of time I could stay to get on my feet again.
While I've been at GHH I have seen more services added that I could use. For example: "If anyone needed clothes for an interview they could just go into the wardrobe closet and get what they needed at no cost. Everything is gently used." A couple of months ago Elizabeth was put in charge of organizing the wardrobe closet making sure all the clothes were sorted, cleaned and pressed, This last month her hard work paid off. Elizabeth was hired by Goodwill to do exactly the same thing for them that she was doing for GHH. She recently recieved her
1st paycheck in nearly 2 1/2 years! |
