Whanganui mum Sonia Kiriona loves her work at Whanganui Safe and Free, an organisation working to heal and prevent sexual abuse in the community.
At one time, Ms Kiriona believed that her work prospects were pretty dismal.
She had invested a lot of time, energy and finances in to training for work but she had not found a job.
She did not have experience and she worried about the having to declare her significant vision impairment to potential employers.
Things changed when she registered as a job seeker with Whanganui Workbridge where the team have supported her job search and recommended her to suitable employers.
"Jan Lawton at Workbridge has stuck with me all the way," says Ms Kiriona.
