A Welfare Success Story From Newton
A Newton mother of 11 with a handicapped husband overcame hardship through Title V welfare aid. She finished high school by night classes, joined on the job training, and now works full time as an arts and crafts assistant at a home for the aged. Gov Docking named her to the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women in Kansas, illustrating positive welfare outcomes and challenging stigma. Her experience suggests welfare recipients can be assets if accepted by their communities.
