When Determination Meets Support - Moving From "Stuck" to Thriving

In August 2024, Leigh Ann Moore began her journey with the 100 Families Initiative, bringing with her a clear determination to build a better future for herself and her son.

The 100 Families Initiative is a community-driven effort to help families in crisis through collaboration and existing resources.

At the time, she had already taken important first steps—acquiring a stable job, living with a supportive friend, and setting thoughtful goals for her family. Still, she expressed feeling “stuck,” unsure of how to move forward from past challenges.

With steady determination, Leigh Ann approached each task with persistence and purpose. Week by week, she worked diligently to overcome obstacles and regain control of her life. Her progress was not overnight, but it was consistent—driven by her deep desire for stability and growth.

By December 2024, Leigh Ann had made remarkable strides. She secured her own home, obtained a reliable vehicle, maintained steady employment, and began exploring opportunities to return to school with the goal of becoming a surgical technician. Her story is a powerful example of grit, resilience, and the ability to move forward without being defined by the past.

Leigh Ann’s journey is a testament to what’s possible when determination meets support. Her growth has not only impacted her own life but also served as an inspiration to those around her.
