Misty Loves Her New Job!

Misty at work
Dear Louann,

A 30-year-old mother of two, Misty’s life had more than its fair share of hard knocks: drug abuse, a jail stint, a failed marriage. With nowhere to turn, she decided to take some advice and try to join the CLIMB Wyoming program.

Finding her voice and her strength in CLIMB, the program turned her life around. With the opportunity to take an amazing job (with a salary to really help get her life back in order), all she needed were workboots for the job – but those proved to be a luxury she simply couldn’t afford.

Now with your help and a new pair of boots, Misty spends her days 200 feet in the air, repairing wind turbines at an electricity plant. “I was intimidated at first but now it’s like I’m one of the guys,” she said. “The whole experience changed my life. The job means I’ve got the chance to start paying for everything myself  without waiting on anyone to support me. It feels really good.”

Thank you Louann for giving Misty this wonderful opportunity!
