Women In Need:
Helping women help themselves...
Debra Rubens felt like she'd hit bottom in 1994. The
Mercer Island woman had just gone through a divorce,
and was determined to stay on the Island. But after
six years of raising her children at home, she had few
marketable skills.
"I
was a convention planner before my children were born,
but that job requires a lot of travel, and I also didn't
have any computer skills," she said. Rubens had
faced a number of losses and was mentally, emotionally
and financially at the end of her rope.
"I
needed counseling to deal with all those loses before
I could move forward," she said.
Rubens
received a grant from Washington Women In Need, and
was able to find a therapist to help her over the rough
spots in her life.
Washington
Women In Need (WWIN) is an organization that does just
what its name suggests: aids women in need.
