Mr. H. came to the agency as an asylee. Originally from Africa, but forced to leave his country,
he and family (wife and 3 children) finally found home in Atlanta. Mr. H. had no job, apartment
of his own, means to support the family and was desperate for help. JF&CS came to the
rescue and enrolled him in matching grant program of the Resettlement Services. He
received financial assistance, furniture for his own apartment, computer training for himself

established companies. In short couple of months his life turned a different angle that allowed
him to have stability, self-sufficiency and success
