Paulette

Watch First Step graduate Paulette share her story of the emotional devastation of going in and out of shelters with her husband and her three daughters, and the tragedies she endured. She found First Step through her housing counselor and she was hesitant at first, but wanted to show her daughters that no matter what happened in their lives, they could always turn things around.

Paulette shared her story at our 2022 Women Mean Business Luncheon.
