“Following my release from prison I was told right away that I needed to find a job. I applied at various locations but never had any luck. Either my lack of experience in the work field or my past convictions made employers look past me. Even if I did get hired, I still didn’t have a reliable source of transportation to get to work. RPF helped me obtain a reliable source of transportation and provided me with the support and resources I need to get a job in the trades. Because of RPF I am now employed and moving up in my company.”
