Meet Andrew. For Andrew, working was not just about making money; it was about helping his family to ensure they had a better life. At just 27 years old, he had assumed the role of providing for his five siblings and caring for them when his mother was sick. But despite the hardships, they held on, their faith keeping them strong. After graduating high school, Andrew had moved to a region far from home where he found a job as a Sales Associate in a mall. However, the job did not last long and he realized that being close to family meant more to him than any job.
Then Andrew found Dignity, took a chance applying, and was invited to join the team. Dignity became a turning point in Andrew's life. It wasn't just about the work; it was about the support and commitment he found there. He decided to join in on the daily devotions and that helped him stay grounded and optimistic, something he hadn't experienced in his previous job. It wasn't just a job anymore; it was a community that cared about its members' well-being.
For Andrew, his job was a stepping stone to begin achieving other dreams that he had as well, like completing his education. He added, “I want to be a Marine or Police Officer. It’s a simple dream, and if given the chance by the Lord, I will strive for it.” Life is still difficult in many ways, but he continues to find a positive outlook and remain grateful in the face of challenges.
