Not knowing where to turn, they called the Orting Family Support Center, a program supported by Success by Six®.

The Olson family was turned upside down. The parents were so frustrated they were close to separating. Not knowing where to turn, they called the Orting Family Support Center, a program supported by Success by Six®.

Both parents were working at minimum wage jobs and earning barely enough to make ends meet. Resources were given through the Orting Family Support Center that empowered the Olson's to seek help. They learned about Child Reach where their daughter went through a screening that qualified her for speech classes in the school district. They learned about Clean Air for Kids to help them with their son's asthma. The Olson's also learned about the Hope Program and received affordable housing and education on apartment living and budgeting.

Thanks to the education and direction received from Success By 6®, the Olson family believes in themselves and is growing together as a family.

United Way funded programs like Success By 6® are at the heart of building relationships between people in need and people who can help. Thank you for your continued support.
