Mercedes Matute
Lori Connell
Mercedes came to us by recommendation of a friend from church. Mercedes was going through a very hard time in life and struggling with depression. She was not working and living in despair. Her friend convinced her to call and sign up for the course, and she began class in August 2013. Mercedes was dedicated to her commitment to receiving one of the class spaces. As she learned, she found her outlook on life began to change she had a new sense of HOPE and enjoyed her time in class and the people surrounding her at Mi Esperanza. When she started she did not know how to turn a computer on, now she knows how to use a computer and all the programs presented in the course. Mercedes was known in class for her punctuality to class and responsibility in her work.

“When she started she did not know how to turn a computer on, now she knows how to use a computer and all the programs presented in the course.”
One month after she graduated, she had an opportunity to work as a promoter of sales for Grupo Cooperativo Excelsior International. She applied and received the job. She creates reports in word and Excel documents, which are both skills she learned during her course at Mi Esperanza. We are very happy for Mercedes and ALL it offered to her life because no one should live without HOPE.
