“I wanted to change the whole trajectory of my life. I wanted to be somebody that my kids could be proud of.”

After spending much of his 40 years in and out of incarceration, Dennis was ready to forge a new path for himself and his kids. That drive led him to Cara Collective and his new beginning.
 

 
“Cleanslate reminded me that I still had something to offer.”

After years of depression and addiction, Peter made a promise to himself to never go back to that lifestyle. Then he found Cara and the crew at Cleanslate.

Now, Peter has found his purpose and started his new career.
 

 
“Before Cara, I felt stuck and unsure of my next steps. I was working hard to improve my life, but lacked directions, confidence, and a clear career path.”

Nicole wanted more for herself – but didn’t know where to begin. That was when she learned of Cara and gained the confidence and support needed to take the next step to real and lasting success.
 

 
“When I arrived in the United States, I had nothing. My mentor gave me a flyer that said Cara. I was told ‘Go there. They can help.’”

After being subject to violence for much of his life, Seun carried anger and hate. Today, he walks with love and purpose, thanks to the support and community he gained at Cara Collective.
