 FABCDC 10th Anniversary
1999-2009

 
Dear Friend and Supporter:

It started out as an ordinary class day in our 2009 Career Express™ Job Training Program.  But it changed dramatically when Elizabeth entered the class room with an aura of accomplishment on her face.  She related the following story about her life and expressed how this program is significantly transforming her family:
 
I am 41 years old and have lived a hard life. I got caught up in drugs and alcohol and even prostituted my body.  I lost my children because I would leave them for days at a time with other people.  Years went by, and then I found a program that saved my life.  It has been hard but if I continue to take one day at a time I will reach my fifth year of sobriety this May. I have had custody of my children for two and half years.  Since I started with the Career Express class I notice that I don’t have a hard time getting my son up for school anymore.  I say “Come on, Momma has to go to school,” and he gets right up. It hasn’t always been this way.  As much as my training is helping me to get a job with a livable wage, for me and my family its impact is much more.  Because of this class I am becoming the positive influence my children need. And that is a change with which I can live.
 
You can help the Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Community Development Corporation (FABCDC) to continue to provide workforce development opportunities for Elizabeth and others in our community.  How? 
 
Join us in celebrating our 10th Anniversary of connecting vulnerable people to opportunities and services, so they can overcome adversity, and experience an improved quality of life.  Please consider making a $35 contribution to FABCDC and include us in your annual budget.  We value the opportunity to partner with you to transform lives in Nashville and hope that you will choose to invest your dollars in the important work FABCDC is doing in our community.
 
Sincerely, 
 
A. Louise McClellan
Executive Director
  
P.S.—The strength of great movements is found in the people who support and sustain them. Elizabeth and others count on people like you, and we hope that you accept this invitation to support working individuals like them.
