For Samantha B., nothing stood in the way of taking care of her home health clients. Without access to reliable transportation, Samantha would walk several miles each day to reach her patients’ homes, no matter the time of day or weather conditions. She often found herself walking before the sun rose and after it set, missing out on important moments with her own children.
After getting connected with Talent and Growth Barrier Removal Initiative, Samantha received financial assistance and support to purchase a reliable vehicle, allowing her to safely visit her clients. She is also now able to help clients across a wider area and pick up more shifts, significantly increasing her monthly income.
Samantha’s story is proof of the difference that reliable transportation can make — improving financial stability and allowing Samantha the time and energy to dedicate to her patients and her family.
“I feel like a weight has been lifted,” said Samantha. “I can take care of my clients and still be home in time to help my kids with homework. I am no longer walking in the dark or worrying if I will miss a shift.” – Samantha B.
