Six months ago Nita and her son (pictured at right) came to the Mission totally devastated. Through a car accident, she had lost her husband and ultimately, had no where to go.
“I was scared when I got here...it took two hours to get me to stop crying.I was exhausted and terrified,” Nita reports.
Wayside Christian Mission welcomed her freely, but Nita’s situation was far from easy. Her son is developmentally disabled with a rare neurological disorder. For this reason, it was difficult to find an appropriate child care for him.
Through case management services provided by the Mission and working closely with our community partners, Nita was able to get her son the resources he needed to thrive. Nita has secured child care services, and has a promising job interview next week. Her goal is to start work as soon as possible, and then transition to her own apartment. Please pray for this little family!
If you’re thinking about driving for Postmates, it’s good to know exactly what they check in your background report. I didn’t realize how thorough their process was until I applied. They check your criminal history, driving record, and even things like traffic violations or any previous issues with your license. I found this article that really helped me understand what Postmates looks for in a background check and what might disqualify you: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/what-does-postmates-look-for-in-a-background-check. It’s definitely worth reading before you apply, so you’re not caught off guard. Knowing what to expect can help you prepare and avoid any surprises down the road!
It’s inspiring to see so many people come together to celebrate International Women’s Day and advocate for meaningful change. Empowerment, whether through community initiatives or personal growth, always starts with preparation and access to the right tools. In professional spaces, having an interview prep platform can offer similar support, helping individuals build confidence and present their best selves. Both movements—whether social or professional—thrive on preparation, support, and a clear vision. It’s a reminder that success often begins with the right foundation and the willingness to take meaningful steps forward.
