Dalton's journey hasn't been easy. Like many in our community, he faced challenges that felt overwhelming, especially when it came to managing his anger and finding a stable path forward. But, thanks to United Way, Dalton's story took a powerful turn.
Dalton was given more than just access to mental health support; he was given purpose. He started working in a local nursing facility, where he showed up day after day with dedication and determination. His hard work didn't go unnoticed. Dalton earned a promotion to Culinary Manager, a role that came with increased responsibilities, a well-deserved raise, and access to health insurance.
With this new stability, Dalton reached a milestone that felt once out of reach: moving into his own home. No longer dependent on government assistance, he now has access to the medication he needs and the skills to manage the budget, putting him firmly on the path to self-sufficiency.
