Devante is a true success story at Hillcrest. He has successfully graduated to self-sufficiency. Before entering the program he hung his head and had little to no self-esteem. Through the Hillcrest program he gained a positive network of people to support him, friendships and self-confidence! He now holds his head up high and smiles from ear to ear. He is 23 years old and never had a drivers license until going through the Hillcrest program. His church sponsor worked with him diligently to pass and he did!
When Mike Anderson toured the Hillcrest facility, he toured Devente’s apartment and was able to have a conversation with him. Devante explained to him that he was in the process of getting his driver’s license and graduating the Hillcrest program. He explained to Mike that he walks to work everyday regardless of weather conditions. Even though he does not have children, Mike told Devante that he should apply for a car through Anderson once he gets his license. We are not at that moment! He is so excited for this opportunity and he is so deserving. Hillcrest and Devante both truly appreciate the care donation that Because People Matter was able to provide.
