After years of struggling, Chantel found the strength to leave a highly abusive relationship, but circumstances meant that she also had to leave her job, ­creating new challenges in all areas of her life, including parenting. She felt as if she lived in a whirlpool, slowly getting sucked to the bottom with no way to escape. Chantel knew that she had to do something, especially for the sake of her children. That’s when the turned to the CLIMB Wyoming program.

Thanks to your donation, the parenting classes offered through CLIMB allow Chantel to see that she is not the only parent who found struggles raising her kids. By learning new parenting ideas and finding other moms and mentors to help her understand and improve her children’s behavior issues, things are looking up for her family!

“I feel like I now have a chance to provide for myself and my children­ that we actually have a future, she said.

Thank you all for your generous support!

Toi was facing some serious challenges: she was the sole provider of her two young girls, she wasn’t receiving child support, she was struggling daily to make ends meet, and she got to the point where she couldn’t even afford rent. It was difficult for her to become the parent she knew she could be.

Toi turned to CLIMB Wyoming because she was having trouble keeping a job in this economy and also she was interested in giving her children something they could look upon with pride.

The parenting classes she was able to take, because of your donation, really helped turn things around for Toi. She realized that other parents felt the same struggles and hurdles with their children and that she could work with the team to compare situations, learn from each other, share perspectives, and draw up new plans to help improve her parenting style.

Because of this opportunity, Toi is looking toward a brighter future for herself and her daughters.

Thank you so much for your support of Toi and CLIMB Wyoming!

Ashley, a single mother, faced a difficult plight: because of the economy, she was laid off from a good job with benefits, and the challenges she faced started to take a toll on her family life, including how she was raising her daughters.

When she went to CLIMB Wyoming, she found it to be an incredibly positive place that could provide her a chance to make some changes and improve her situation.

With the parenting class that your donations provided, Ashley now has the tools in place to better relate to her kids and understand what they are going through..and respond accordingly. She is learning that there is no such thing as a perfect parent, and that everyone makes mistakes. The parenting session empowered her to know that she can pick herself up if things don’t go as she had planned.

“I want my girls to know that ­- no matter what life gives you ­- you can always find a way to be the best person you can possibly be.”

Thank you all for your support!

When circumstances dictated that Ashley leave her husband, she did so knowing the challenges her and her two young boys would face. With a job that made her uneasy about finding support for her kids, the stress was mounting in the young family. Finally, a neighbor suggested she take part in CLIMB Wyoming. Once she was ready for the change, Ashley took the leap and found new opportunities awaiting her, including the parenting class your donation helps support.

This parenting class has been a godsend, Ashley says.  It has been a breath of fresh air to have this opportunity. Now she is able to change her parenting style to best suit the needs of her children’s development, and is focusing on positive outcomes for her sons. With this change in her home, it has changed her options for the future and what she feels she can now accomplish.

Thank you all for your support of Ashley and CLIMB Wyoming!

It seemed simple enough: Amy just needed some help to get her life back on track. She was a single mom of three young boys, and the children’s father was nowhere in their lives. She worked as hard as she could to pay the bills, but it was still a struggle to do that … and it was taking a toll on the relationship with her kids.

That’s when Amy turned to CLIMB Wyoming.

Thanks to your donation of a parenting class, Amy has discovered the joys of being a mom and has been given the tools to realize that she can and will be successful as a single parent. The boys are now able to see a future that’s full of possibility, and a mom who is there to make that happen.

She says, “I actually thought about giving up, but these classes have really given me that hope that I can raise my kids well even if I’m on my own.”

Thank you so much to all of you for providing this empowering class to Amy. A special thank you to UBS, Laurent, and Carol for donating multiple weeks of classes. You have all helped her more than you know!
