Laura's Story
We work for parents like Laura. When Laura joined the Childbirth and Parenting Alone (CAPA) program in Spokane, she was just that—alone and isolated. Now Laura is a member of CAPA’s Leadership Team, a committee that plans and implements CAPA activities. Children’s Trust Foundation awarded CAPA with a grant in 2009 to carry on the effective work of prevention and Family Support made available to Laura and so many others. But don’t just take our word for it; hear it from Laura:
This experience has allowed me to feel a part of my own world. It has encouraged me to grow and come out of my shell. When I started volunteering I was afraid to share my thoughts, but I now have no problem putting an idea on the table. CAPA is all about empowering women and now I am empowered. I have learned that no idea is bad and that I have something to contribute. Many people never get to experience the togetherness and love of CAPA. With every get-together, I have a sense of accomplishment with every smile and laugh that comes from both parents and children. I am a woman and I am a part of CAPA.
