A long-time manager was talking about Thanksgiving because each year he hosts dinner for 15 to 20 guests. And most of them are TLC staff.
It's a tradition he's followed for nearly 20 years. He says that every few years the guest list changes. And that's because those who first show up don't have families. Or much of a social life.
But after they're around a while they get married. Soon, they're hosting their own celebrations in their own homes with their own guest lists.
This anecdote embodies on a small scale what TLC is about.
Most of our clients come to us with nothing. Maybe a few clothes in a trash bag. An arrest record. No license or identification. Some with nothing all. Flat broke. Drugs and alcohol took it all.
But if they stick around and work our program things start to happen for them. They get a sponsor. Find a job. Start building relationships and a network of friends.
Transitional is part of our name and these are the kinds of changes we love to see in our client's lives.
