A New Beginning: Victoria Skelton
http://www.wid.org/publications/?page=equity&sub=200411&topic=profile
Despite an abusive childhood, growing up poor, and disabling mental 
conditions that at times have left her paralyzed by fear; Victoria Skelton 
does not waste time with blame or resentment. Finding the asset building 
program at the Women’s Opportunities Resource Center (WORC) was just the 
start of her journey on the road towards economic self-sufficiency.

business plan can help secure funding and simplify complex benefits
