Empowering Mary: A Story of Hope and Transformation
When I first met Mary, she was facing a difficult and uncertain future. She had separated from her husband due to domestic violence and was left struggling to find her footing as a single mother. With her child by her side, Mary was determined to rebuild her life, but she didn’t know where to begin. She needed support, guidance, and a way to provide for her family.
Through Her Gifted Hands CIC and with the help of funding from the National Lottery, I was able to offer Mary a lifeline. I provided her with training to enhance her skills, practical information on setting up her own business, and start-up capital to purchase the materials she needed. I also empowered her with the tools and knowledge to create an online store, which has since become a successful venture.
Mary’s business has blossomed. Not only has she been able to work from home while caring for her child, but through attending various events, she has built a network, connected with others, and marketed her products. Today, Mary is thriving—running her business with confidence, supporting her family, and embracing a new chapter in her life.
Her journey is a testament to what can be achieved when support, empowerment, and opportunity come together. Mary is a shining example of how gifted hands can transform lives.
Christine's Success Story
Christine was once stuck in a routine that left her feeling unfulfilled and overwhelmed. With the responsibilities of family life weighing on her, she took on several jobs in an attempt to support her household. However, none of these jobs sparked joy or passion within her. The stress of working in a field she didn’t love took a toll on her mental health, and she soon found herself battling depression. Life felt stagnant, and the sense of purpose she longed for seemed far out of reach.
That’s when Christine met Her Gifted Hands CIC, where she was encouraged to explore her God-given talents and pursue something she truly enjoyed. During our conversations, Christine revealed her love for hairdressing—a skill she had always been passionate about but hadn’t pursued professionally. We offered her guidance on how to channel this passion into a thriving business, providing her with tips on leveraging online platforms and tools to grow her hairdressing brand.
Through our support, Christine was empowered to build her hairdressing business, allowing her to do something she loved while spending more time with her family. She successfully set up her own website, and today, she’s not only happier but also living a life full of purpose. Hairdressing has become her source of income, joy, and fulfillment, helping her fight depression and giving her the balance she needed in life.
Christine’s story is a beautiful reminder of the power of pursuing your passions and how, with the right support, you can turn your gifts into a meaningful and rewarding life.
