To celebrate my 75th Birthday this year (on January 1), I am asking friends to donate to Suited for Change (SFC). Since opening its boutique in downtown D.C., in 1992, SFC has supported more than 30,000 women on their path to financial independence. SFC provides women in need not only with professional attire for job interviews, but also with coaching and skills training.

I volunteer at SFC's boutique as a job coach, helping women in need hone their interview skills and talking with them about professional development. Many women served by SFC are returning citizens or living in shelters due to homelessness or domestic violence.

Your donation will help SFC serve and empower more women in the years to come.
