Testimonials

“Erika and the Bloom program were very empowering and gave me much reassurance and confidence. Bloom helped me believe in myself and learn that the skills I hold are valuable. I now feel like I can explore my career pathway and kick any goal I set for myself. I had no idea whatsoever how to get back into the workplace to now being confident to be what ever I want to be. Highly recommend this program to all single mothers.” – Michelle

“I love Erika’s positive outlook and how she is so encouraging. I really don’t think I would have taken these big steps if it wasn’t for her support and encouragement. I’m so grateful for the CSMC. You all do wonderful work!” – Nikki
