Testimonials

“Our Grandmothers In Tech & Entrepreneurship Living Well (GITTY) has provided direct services to young and old grandmothers. One woman who went through our program returned to the workforce after being a stay-at-home mom and grandmother. We gave her the job training and professional development skills, including technology skill-building, to be relevant for today's modern workplace.” Many moms and grandmothers are now placed in IT Tech Careers making a salary that breaks generation barriers.
“A young lady in a domestic violence relationship was referred to us by one of our partners and enrolled in the Save Our Sisters program in a dark time of her life. The wrap around services identified an opportunity with a partnership that provides housing and trauma support for violence victims. She was able to move away from the risky work she had been doing in adult entertainment and gain a healthy career. In the process she became stable so that she was able to obtain full custody of her son.”
“One low-income woman whose only income was from Social Security benefits wanted to transition into the workforce but had little work experience. Through our employment training partnerships, she was packaged with work experience opportunities and gained new skills and confidence. We both made unified effort to provide a career opportunity that doubled her income within the same year.”
“A housing-insecure couple was living in their car through the Covid-19 pandemic when they enrolled in our program for our wrap around services. We referred them to one of our partner agencies that can assist the wife in pursuit of obtaining Social Security benefits, making sure that she was able to get the public assistance that she desperately needed. They also helped her husband secure consistent income by placing him in a temporary job opportunity until we identified an employee partnership in his credentialed career. Additionally, they were placed in housing paid for through our partnering agencies and are now able to sustain on their own.”
“A client was headed on the track of taking an education scholarship for granted. He was allowing his love for the arts to override his ability to take on the scholarship and apply it to education and the usage of arts as a part of an occupational skill. Once he came through our program, we were able to introduce other opportunities to him in the field of Art Therapy that he could use as a career option to help change lives, use his arts and make a dynamic salary.”
“Our Grandmothers In Tech & Entrepreneurship Living Well (GITTY) has provided direct services to young and old grandmothers. One woman who went through our program returned to the workforce after being a stay-at-home mom and grandmother. We gave her the job training and professional development skills, including technology skill-building, to be relevant for today’s modern workplace.” Many moms and grandmothers are now placed in IT Tech Careers making a salary that breaks generation barriers.”
“Through the Aumazing Parents, a program designed for families with children on the spectrum, we support them through our wrap around services. One year we raised enough money to purchase a special technology for a young child with autism that support his cognitive development.”
“One single mother enrolled in our Aumazing Parents Program with a severely affected child on the autism spectrum that needs one-on-one care 24/7. We gave her a scholarship to our online virtual training module, a financial support stipend, and business coaching to help her build her own unique company. Now working independently at home, as a supplemental income, she can have the freedom, flexibility and financial stability to support her family, while being home with her severely affected child.”
