Joan shines brightly at Nellie’s recent celebration

On May 18th, Nellie’s held its annual donor recognition event at the Daniels Spectrum Artscape Lounge to thank our loyal donors and volunteers for their generosity and support. The evening included remarks from Board members Carol Allain and Bethany Johnson, and Nellie’s Executive Director Margarita Mendez.

But the star of the show was Joan.

Guests were moved by Joan’s story of moving from living at the shelter with her children to participating in numerous programs like the Women Experiencing Abuse and/or Violence Pre-employment Program to working with one of our transitional housing worker to access housing.

With hard work and determination, Joan secured a job in a financial institution and is now living independently in the community with her children.

Please donate to help women like Joan.
