Kelly Barber: How ChildCareGroup Changed a Mother’s Life

Kelly Barber moved to Dallas from Michigan as a single mother, facing significant hardships. Struggling to pay bills and provide childcare for her 4-year-old Kingston, she found herself homeless. Everything changed when she discovered ChildCareGroup and the vital resources offered by WFSDallas. Through their support, she received a one year grant that fully covered her child’s childcare expenses, providing the stability she needed.

The support allowed Kelly to not only stay afloat but to thrive in her career with the Child Care Group. She is now a Professional Development System Supervisor and is dedicated to help others access the same resources that empowered her to rebuild her life.

Reflecting on the impact WFSDallas and ChildCareGroup had in her life she states, “They’ve given me the greatest gift and that is the opportunity to create a better life for Kingston and others through my profession.”

Kaitlyn Francois : Destination Success Dallas Peer Mentor

Before moving to Texas in 2023, Kaitlyn Francois had never heard of the Texas Workforce Commission and all of its wonderful services. That all changed when a friend introduced her to the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) Young Adult Program. After enrolling and completing the 3 day job readiness class, facilitators saw her potential and recommended her for a peer mentor position.

Kaitlyn currently serves as a mentor in the WIOA Young Adult Program while pursuing her degree in human services at Liberty University. After graduation, she hopes to become a grief counselor, using her own experiences to help others navigate life’s challenges. Her journey with WFSDallas has not only shaped her career aspirations but also deepened her commitment to supporting and empowering others to create positive change in their lives.
