Slide 1
An RPSV Success Story From Ben, in his
own words

"I was homeless from 2021-2022. I had
nothing and no one to turn to. I slept in
a tent."
"I used resources available to me from
RWC and developed skills to turn my life
around. I then got a job at Amazon and
was approved for an apartment in
Manassas. I moved there to start my
new life with my fiancé. Later we moved
to a place in Washington, DC. We love
our new home."
"I am now playing the father role to her
son. It is so fulfilling! Because of my
new responsibilities I have changed jobs
and now work for myself as a Lyft
driver. I get to choose my hours and
make my own money. Even better, I am
getting married next year!"
"I can't imagine where I would be right
now if it wasn't for the Reston Wellness
Center. You have helped me more than
you can imagine. Thank you for your
incredible support!"

Success Story

"I left my home in Alabama, leaving
behind my large family and heavy
drug use. I moved to Reston and
heard about RWC two months ago."
"I lost my arm in a horrible car
accident in 2011. I also suffer from
mental illness, and am a military.
vet. I currently live in my truck."
"I am so grateful for RWC. It's a
positive, safe place to cope and I
am being assisted by the peer
support services I am receiving.
RWC helped me find employment.
I'm so delighted about my job at
Home Depot that starts at $18 an
hour!"
"I also enjoy socializing with new
friends, having good hot meals,
and using the computer which has
been a lifeline for me to keep in
touch with loved ones. Thank you,
RWC!"
