Meet Syliva

​

Syliva is 53 years of  age and has one daughter and a grandson. Unfortunately, addiction took control of her life, leading her to seek assistance at the City Rescue Mission on McDuff Ave.

 

Thanks to her dedication and hard work, Syliva progressed to the Life Builders Program at the City Rescue Mission. LifeBuilders is a faith-based (nondenominational Christian) residential transformation initiative located at the City Rescue Mission.

 

 

Sylvia had been clean and sober for 18 months and secured a job at Panera Bread. However, due to public transportation issues, it would take her up to two hours to reach work. She would wake up at 4:00 AM to arrive by 7:00 AM, and the bus stop was in a high-crime area, which made her concerned for her safety.

 

After reviewing numerous essays, the board found Syliva's to be the most impressive, and Destiny Changers awarded her a White Chevy Impala, thanks to our collaboration with the Jacksonville Transportation Authority.

 

 

Congratulations, Syliva!!! Keep up the great work!!!
