Helping Families Succeed

Deanna, a determined young mother, harbored a dream of attending college and pursuing her passion as a chef. However, she initially felt discouraged upon realizing she lacked a high school diploma. Seeking guidance and support, Deanna reached out to the Martha O’Bryan Family Success Network to explore her options for personal and educational growth.

As the primary decision-maker in her household, Deanna worked closely with the coaching team to chart a path forward. Discussions encompassed mental health support, financial counseling, childcare options, adult education opportunities, and entrepreneurial training. Through these sessions, Deanna recognized the pivotal importance of obtaining her GED and took the courageous step of enrolling in Martha O’Bryan’s Adult Education class.

This decision marked a significant milestone on Deanna’s journey towards her ultimate goal: attending Culinary School at Nashville State Community College. With determination and the unwavering support of the Martha O’Bryan team, Deanna is poised to achieve her dreams and inspire her young son with the promise of a brighter future.
