Congratulations to Tabbatha Driver on graduating from the Fisher Transitional Living for Women portion of the AGAPE Reentry program on April 30th, 2022. After a year of hard work and dedication, Tabbatha is living proof that "Restoration is Possible, Success is Real". During her time in Fisher Transitional Living for Women, Tabbatha budgeted faithfully and saved enough to purchase a new car. She is now living in her own fully furnished apartment and saving to purchase a home through TSM's partnership with Habitat for Humanity.

With the opening of a second site, the ENAL Summer Initiative program is operating at twice the capacity of previous years. The 2022 session began June 6th at First Presbyterian Church of Ferguson and St. Stephens Episcopal Church. Students at both sites are enjoying a summer of educational fun with daily enrichment and weekly field trips to attractions throughout St. Louis.

On Friday, April 15th TSM hosted the first in-person Successful Second Chances Employer Panel since the COVID-19 pandemic beg. The event took place in Clark-Fox Forum in Hillman Hall at Washington University in

St. Louis. After a hot complimentary breakfast, attendees, employers, and panelists held change-driving conversation and stepped into the shoes of justice-involved individuals through a realistic reentry simulation. TSM Founder and CEO, Shawntelle L. Fisher, also announced TSM's expansion of the Successful Second Chances Workforce Development course to include men.

Can't wait for the next one? Neither can we! Join us on Friday, July 15th for the next Successful Second Chances Employer Panel. See details below and click the button to register:

Thank you to everyone who donated to TSM, and helped spread the word on Give STL Day, Thursday May 5th. We raised almost $3,500 in honor of the youth and justice-involved women we serve! This would not be possible without the support of our community.

On Saturday, May 7th, a large group of TSM staff, students, parents, and supporters volunteered at the 2022 Special Olympics Missouri spring games. As always, this was an exciting event for athletes and buddies alike. Thank you to everyone who volunteered!

The TSM Girls on the Run team is celebrating crossing the finish line of another season. On Saturday, May 14, several supporters came to Forest Park to cheer the girls on during the bi-annual 5k run. Many joined the run themselves!

The Fall Girls on the Run season is right around the corner. If you, or someone you know would like to volunteer to be a coach, please email thesoulfisherministries@yahoo.com.

Congratulations to Ms. Arissa Ford, TSM tutor and former ENAL student, on receiving the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce $1000 Determination Scholarship. Arissa is a talented Riverview Gardens Highschool graduate. Her leadership capabilities, excellent academic record, and beautiful singing voice have caught the attention of many. She is excited to join the University of Missouri-St. Louis' Music/Business degree program to continue pursuing her career in music.

“I thank God for giving me this opportunity. I am beyond blessed to have so many wonderful people helping me with my financial needs for school. Though it’s kind of scary, I’m really excited to go to college in the fall,” said Arissa.

On June 9th and 10th, Eye Thrive and Affinia Healthcare arrived at ENAL sites, First Presbyterian Church of Ferguson and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, to provide youth with mobile clinic services.
