Resist the storm
August 2005, Helena and her family’s lives were turned upside down. New Orleans was hit by a devastating storm, “Hurricane Katrina.” Helena moved to Richmond, Virginia, with her husband, daughter, and family dog, which they lost to liver disease. Helena’s husband is a Rehab Nurse Coordinator, and her daughter is working on her undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering.
But the storm could not stop her. Helena was an IT Professional of 20+ years; she always provided technology services to family and friends and had the desire to start her own business.
“Both the storm and the recession allowed me the opportunity to start my own business and make money doing something I love.”
