Prosper NWT - Financing and Business Development

An Exceptional Team That Truly Care's As a Founder and CEO of Holistic Counselling and Rehab Services (HCRS), I had the honour of engaging with Michele and her organization, and I am genuinely moved by the professionalism, warmth, and unwavering support they extended to me. Michele responded to my HCRS initiative with a remarkable level of passion, empathy, and dedication. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she deeply understood the critical importance of providing culturally safe, community-based care for vulnerable populations. Her acknowledgment of the urgent need for the services we are building through HCRS was not only encouraging it was empowering. What stood out most was Michele’s genuine investment in my vision and the thoughtful, solution-oriented guidance she provided every step of the way. She uplifted my efforts, saw the value in what we are doing for marginalized individuals, and treated our work with the respect and seriousness it deserves. It is rare to find professionals who are not only highly competent but also deeply human in their approach. Michele is one of those rare individuals who leads with both heart and wisdom. Thank you to Michele and the entire team for standing behind initiatives like HCRS that are grounded in compassion, integrity, and service to the most underserved.

Starting a home-based business is challenging, especially when it comes to creating a business plan. As a chef with over 25 years of experience, I am confident in my ability to develop menus and recipes, but I've always focused on kitchen operations rather than business planning. I struggled to create to create a solid plan for my business and didn't know where to begin. During a banquet event, two respected ladies from Prosper NWT tasted my food and were impressed with the quality I brought to the YK market. Two days later, they reached out to offer their support. They wnated to to understand my needs and help me organize my ideas to elevate my business to the next level. Their encouragment was a turning point that gave me the motivation to move forward. Now, I have a home business called Abdel's Sushi.

The ladies were very thorough on explaining to me how to start where to look and how to find and apply, especially Michelle. She was so awesome.
