Ready To Empower - Catherine Aprile

MEET SAYDA! 

Sayda is a model of determination!  Throughout her life,  Sayda has worked hard to help support herself and her family. However, Sayda felt alone in her journey and felt lost at times trying to take care of others while struggling with her on health concerns.  Sayda was struggling with health issues and needed support and resources to help her manage her mental health and her overall physical health. When she joined  RTE's Empowerment Program she was able to improve her mental health by going regularly to therapy and getting nutritional support from a nutritionist.  Little by little Sayda became more and more empowered and began to feel healthier and overall happier in life.  In this process, she created wonderful friends and gained unconditional support from women in the program which helped to improve her confidence while decreasing her feelings of loneliness.  In her own words, "I know now how to help myself, and I am so grateful for the support RTE has provided to me because I am now motivated in life and don't want to give up."
