Mark, a father of a teenager in Frisco ISD, was grappling with the harsh realities of a changing job market. The recent wave of layoffs left him no choice but to accept a position that required a lengthy commute, paying far less than his previous job.

As if the financial strain wasn’t enough, rising gas prices, tolls, and a series of car issues seemed to pile up at the worst possible time.
With his son relying on him, Mark knew he had to find a way to pull through these challenges.

In search of support, he turned to Frisco Family Services and was introduced to CHAMPS (Challenging Adult Minds for Personal Success), where he found not only valuable skills but also a supportive community eager to help him through his tough transition. One of the key offerings was assistance with revamping his resume. Our dedicated professional volunteer instructors worked closely with Mark, helping him tailor his resume to highlight his skills and experience, making him more competitive in the job market. Mark’s retooled resume opened doors, and soon he found a position that offered better prospects for the future.

Frisco Family Services not only provided practical tools but also instilled a sense of resilience in a father determined to weather the storm for the sake of his family. In the face of challenges, the warmth and guidance of Frisco Family Services helped Mark navigate the road to self-sufficiency.
