Meet Calvin
Calvin’s is one of the first success stories from St Joseph the Worker’s Employment Bridge Program, designed to help our employed clients who are living in shelters learn healthy budgeting techniques, improve their credit, and eventually move into independent housing. After 5 months in this program, Calvin payed off his debts, saved $8,000, and moved into his own apartment!
Meet Calvin
Abuse, medical debt, and poverty were things Calvin had become accustomed to after a workplace injury left him with an unpaid worker’s compensation claim and an expensive surgery bill. This put a strain on his marriage and Calvin’s wife began making him feel small, saying he “couldn’t even afford to pay a water bill without her.” This lit a fire inside Calvin that burned brighter than the fire around him, so he moved to the best place to rise from the ashes: Phoenix.
Celebrate with St Joseph the Worker
At St. Joseph the Worker, we get to be part of so many transformative journeys but it is rare that we get to capture those on video and share them with you. Meet Jeff, one of our clients who’s been in recovery since 2017 and is so appreciative to finally have a “big boy” job.
