Deneka shares:
“I love working at Open Door America and interacting with our clients. I learn something new from them everyday. As much as I have been helped by Open Door America, I want to help others, even if it's just something small like giving encouragement. I have a favorite Amish proverb: 'By perseverance, the snail reached the ark.' My personal translation of this proverb is, 'Even though it has taken me a while to get where I want to be, I’m gonna get there.' That's how I see my life so helping others at Open Door America fits me perfectly."

Overcoming COVID-19!
When news broke on March 13th that Maryland was going into full shutdown mode, you could feel the air go out of our ex-offender demonstration project funded by the Governor of Maryland. Seriously? Really? After a year of planning and hard work, it was all going to go up in smoke because of a pandemic? No way! We persevered! (The Governor will be very proud.)
