I wanted to end my dependence on Social Security Insurance, so I came to Deseret Industries. I did not know if I was capable of working, but I trusted in the Lord. Through DI I came to know the benefits of work and the great feeling that comes with having a reason to get up each day and go to a job.

Everyone at Deseret Industries was willing to help me. I had a job coach trainer and a development counselor that cared about me. They helped me gain confidence in my abilities, and soon I found I could find success in my life. This experience taught me that I love to learn, that I learn quickly, and that I can do hard things. I have also developed a greater capacity to understand others and their needs, and because of this, my relationships have improved. I feel that all the areas of my life have improved because of my experience at Deseret Industries.

When the Lord asks us to do something, He always provides a way to accomplish it. He wants us to be happy. The Deseret Industries program was there when I needed it. Everyone has been absolutely wonderful to work with. I know there will always be challenges and hard things, but my faith continues to grow. I know that I can overcome and that my challenges will ultimately help me grow as well. Thank you Deseret Industries.
