Maxine came to Susan’s Place after having struggles at home. She says Susan’s Place has helped her by teaching her patience. “I was used to going from 0 to 1,000 and end up fighting someone. Now I am here, learning to have patience and cope with the here and now,” she said.  This is me–very unique. She believes beauty is knowing yourself well enough to deal with your insecurities and uncertainties. “We all have insecurities and beauty is learning how to cope with it.” Remaining confident and having faith is a code that she lives by. Maxine refuses to use negative terms when setting goals for herself, “I don’t like to use the terms ‘can’t’ and ‘fail.’” Her positivity embodies who she is as a person; she defines herself as “unique.” Be sure to join us October 2, 2017 at  The Mezzanine  for the 5th Annual Health Empowered Beauty Fashion Show.

Barbra found herself homeless after she fell ill, causing her to lose her job. “Being in a nursing home left me unable to take care of things at home, so I ended up in Susan’s Place,” she said. She always had someone in her life to help her, but Barbra says her goal is to be and STAY independent from “shelter life.” Before Susan’s Place, either her mother, brother, or sister were assisting her. Now, Barbra says she will be able to take care of herself. Barbra has not only found shelter at Susan’s Place, she has also found friendships. She says the friendships she has made at Susan’s Place built her up when she felt down. “I’ve had a lot of women encourage me while being here,” she said. “It was a journey, but a good journey,” she continued. “Your charisma and your actions is what make the combination of beauty – it’s what in your heart.” Be sure to join us October 2, 2017 at  The Mezzanine  for the 5th Annual Health Empowered Beauty Fashion Show.

“A woman for all seasons” is Anita’s philosophy, inspired from a book by Sir Thomas, “A man for all seasons.” Anita says the book has taught her to be the woman she “needs to be in any season of her life – a woman for all seasons.” Beauty is about your heart, your soul, your spirit, your faith, and your hope. Not your outer appearance. After becoming temporarily disabled and losing her job, Anita eventually became homeless. “I needed a place where I can start all over and that’s what Susan’s Place has been for me. My dream is to start my own business. I really want to continue to do computer work as an IT professional,” Anita said. “I need a profession that will work with my health concerns,” she continued. After becoming homeless, Anita found herself “under a lot of pressure and stressed.” “I was also very depressed,” she said. Susan’s Place helped her move away from a dark place. “Susan’s Place has been a refuge for me…coming here, I was able to relax,” she said. Anita t
