Each year the Community
Action Association of Pennsylvania honors outstanding individuals
who, with the aid of their local Community Action Agency, have
overcome poverty and achieved self-sufficiency.
The
following are stories of triumph -- stories that chronicle the
lives of people who overcame insurmountable odds. They are people
with the drive to achieve more in life, but lacked the support
network that would allow them to do so.
They are men and women who started with a dream that was shattered
either through circumstances such as an unhealthy relationship,
an accident or an illness. Or their dreams ended suddenly with
an unexpected loss of employment and an education that provided
little chance of finding a family-sustaining job. But a common
thread binds these stories together -- Community Action Agencies.
