Testimonial
This opportunity has transformed me and my life. While I once felt lost and abandoned, this program introduced me to so many people just like me, looking for new opportunities while trying to find a new path to provide for my family. Through the VBI I found this and much more. I am now gainfully employed and I know I am making a difference in the lives of others as well. None of this would have been possible without this program. My deepest gratitude to the VBI team, mentors and employers who were there to hep me pick up the pieces so I wouldn't become a statistic.
