In 2024, Belona M. arrived in the United States with her young family. She faced many challenges, including adjusting to a new country, learning English, and caring for her children. Belona M. was referred to JEVS Center for New Americans (CNA) for employment and training support.

Through our program, she received case management, ESL classes, and ongoing guidance. After working hard to prepare for the job market, she was ready to take her next step. Only a few months after giving birth, she interviewed at a local company. She impressed the employer, and they hired her for a full-time position with good pay and benefits.

She often shares her gratitude for the support she received, especially for the help provided in her own language and for the encouragement that kept her moving forward. Her success is one of many examples of how determination, paired with the right support, can help someone overcome barriers and build a new, independent life.
