Before I got here, I was unemployed because of COVID. I was homeless with my two little girls. Never want to go through that again ever. The staff was so supportive on cert day and all throughout the program. I don't think I'd be where I'm at if I didn't have this great support system behind me. The Mobile Training Center is such a blessing.

I feel good. I want to get a better job now and support my family. I'm real excited, I got my certs today. It was a blessing to watch people getting prayed for and saved during the class. I was a drug addict for 15 years of my life. Clean now for 9 years. I never relapsed. Thank God. Glory to Him.

After 1 month, I'm a certified welder and am happy about that. I'm not from around here. I'm not sure how I made it this far. Something drew me to this school. It's only about this school that I moved out here. I'm living in my camper down the street just so I can get this opportunity. I didn't know this place would open my heart, not just about welding. I was in prison for 5 years. I didn't know how important it was to be at one with God. More than the certification; I'm happy now. Thank you for all the love you gave me. You guys are amazing.

I've been a troubled youth since the age of 12, in and out of prison. Being around people who know the Lord helped me get sober and change my mentality. Been sober for two months. Gives me more hope. I got certified in MIG and Stick and look forward to starting a career and changing my life.

The class challenged my beliefs because it was so full of love and positivity. Everyone was living in the spirit of the thing. God walked me through this, He got me here and He saved me. The class sounded too good to be true. 4 week course, it's free and you leave a certified welder. After the first day thinking it was too good to be true, it was evident that in fact it was true. It's changed the course of my life.

Being around these amazing people, I was able to give my life to Christ. Now I have a new life, a better life. I passed the Stick certification. With this diploma and the cert, I can have the life I want for my babies.

Today, I received my 3G TIG and 3G Stick certifications. I am able to further my career and make a success out of myself and provide for my family thanks to ReIGNITE Hope.

Getting certifications and heading to a job, I feel great. I received both Stick 3G and MIG 3G certifications today. Thank you everyone for helping my get my certs and open doors to new opportunities.

I was in prison for 20 years. Joined Healthright 360 when I got out. I applied and got in to ReIGNITE Hope but dropped out after a week and got a job as a welder helper. I realized my mistake and applied again. Here I am. I left my job to come here. It was a worth it. It's a loving, caring environment--not just a school. I plan to volunteer and help the next class of students because I take that to heart. You have to give to receive.

I'm from Compton, the youngest of three kids. My brother and father are welders so I knew I would follow in their footsteps. ReIGNITE Hope was a Godsend because I got certified in MIG and TIG. It's a four week program with real hands-on experience. It's really life-changing. Not only did I get certified but I've become closer to God.

I signed up for the class and got the call. It's been really amazing after that. I feel mentally and spiritually better. I told my friends about it. They're signing up and their lives are changing. Everything about it is amazing.

On Cert Day, the nerves got to me. The staff prayed with me and supported me through it. I'm happy to say I received my cert. If I can do, you can do it.
