I have worked as a stay-at-home parent for 14 years, and I'm 42. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into renewable energy, and I have completed a part-time diploma. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Illinois, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

    • Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Salem donated after I showed her your page

      • rooting for you. Hope you get there. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • Small businesses are the heart of Peoria. Hope you're open again soon

          • You're not alone, Marcus. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best!
