Hello, I am Patricia Rogers, I am a single mom of 3, and I take care of my elderly mom. So yes, a lot of responsibilities for just one person. I did it for a while and sooner than later I found myself losing myself and not anyone to turn to. We were running low on groceries one week and I sought out community help. I found the Dream Center. I first started to attend the dinners on Wednesday nights then I started the Rise program. I am now a veteran around Dream Center. I graduated two years ago but I still attend the Maintenance classes to help keep my mind in the right spot. Since completing the Rise Program I am proud to say I can track every penny. I am a budget freak.

I have also built my community with others like me and met some lifelong friends who have now turned into family. In my future I plan on paying it forward and helping at more volunteer events at the Dream Center and to continue to attend Maintenance classes to keep my heart soul mind and body strong . I would recommend the dream center to anybody the staff are so friendly and supportive in anything. Thank you guys for everything.
