Cathia has faced many challenges in her life. She is a single mother of a teenage son, and she is also the primary caretaker for her aging mother who suffers from severe mental illness. She has no relationship with her father, and a couple of years ago her brother, her mother’s only other child, was tragically killed. In spite of immense hardship, she takes solace in her Christian faith, and she has not given up on her dreams. She’s always wanted to work in either a hotel or a restaurant, so she chose to enter a two year program at Unity School of Business for hotel management. She says that she has fought by God’s grace to get where she is today and that her dream is to own her own restaurant before she dies. Through the generous support of Thrive Ansanm donors, she is now receiving financial support for her school and for a caretaker for her mother while she is gone. Her determination is an inspiration, and we are honored to parner with her to achieve her goals.
