Life after welfare: Tony Sutton, Student, Watered Gardens Ministries
“I never realized that I could be somebody. I now have the opportunity to study, to grow, to learn, and how to build healthy relationships.”
– Tony Sutton
Tony Sutton learned at a very early age how to get around the system to receive government assistance for himself and for his mother. For many like Tony, welfare and dependency become a way of life. It was not until he became an adult that he learned that living a life on welfare was not the answer.
Through Forge, an outreach program at Watered Gardens Ministries in Missouri, a non-government-funded organization, Tony found the answer. Forge helps struggling men leave welfare and dependency by helping them develop strong work ethic through character development and career readiness.
