Be the change in someone's life - Christina's story
When Christina first came to Dress for Success she had escaped her abusive marriage after nine years of escalation, and was struggling to find a jobto support her children. The moment that motivated her to leave was when her children kept asking her for “beautiful white clothes”. Questioned about why they would want such impractical outfits, Christina’s seven year old daughter told her “we need them to wear to your funeral when Daddy kills you.”
Having been forced out of the workforce by her ex-husband when they got married, and with no money in her own name, Christina was left with nothing but her children. She had no family support, no job, and limited funds that were dwindling fast. Her resourcefulness had been pushed to the brink.
Christina simply didn't know where to turn for support.
It was at a Styling Session that Christina opened up to one of our volunteer stylists about her hopes and dreams for her future with her children. She spoke of wanting to be involved in the criminal justice system to help other women like her, so that she could break the cycle for others. The volunteer Stylists helped her choose an outfit that made her feel she could nail the interview. But it was a special find from one of the volunteers that convinced Christina she was on the right path. They found and gifted her a set of cufflinks which said Guilty and Not Guilty. With this sign of ‘justice’, Christina knew that change was coming her way.
