In Haiti, James M. worked as a police officer. This job involved many challenges and risks that put civilians and officers in dangerous situations.
In search of a stable and secure life, James M. and his wife left Haiti. They lived in Chile for a while, where their son was born. Then they traveled to Mexico and eventually arrived in the United States. James M. and his family faced daily challenges, including how to provide for his family’s basic needs.
The Philadelphia County Assistance Office referred James to JEVS Human Services in February 2024. He applied for training and employment services. I enrolled James M. in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and started looking for a job for him. He applied to Amazon where he completed the drug test and background check and was offered a job.
Today, James M. is happy and is grateful for the support and help from JEVS Center for New Americans (CNA).
