When Cecelia first came to Eben Ministries, her future was uncertain for her and her baby. However, from the moment she arrived, Cecelia showed determination to build a better life. Cecelia has stable employment, income, homelife, and more, yet candle making provides her with supplemental income. Not only does it provide financially, but it also gives her a creative outlet all wrapped up in one.. This supplemental income helps Cecelia purchase essentials for her baby, save for the future, and relieve some financial stress. Cecelia’s candles are made with care, attention to detail, and a quality that can’t be matched.

Candle making also gave her something greater: Confidence. She sold her first candles at our gala! She sold a total of eleven in one night, and that was not a small accomplishment! This experience helps strengthen her commitment to the program and fuels her passion to grow. Cecelia has shown great success through this opportunity and she’s so grateful for every purchase of one of her candles.
