] Date Posted: 08:16:34 01/18/15 Sun Meet Judy. Judy’s Story.After 15 years without permanent accommodation, Judy saw little future for herself when she joined the Women's Subscription Enterprise in Sydney in 2011. Following a family breakdown, Judy spent more than a decade living in refuges and temporary housing, losing confidence and self-respect along the way. But she says working at the Women’s Subscription Enterprise has given her a new outlook on life. "After the first shift I got my self-esteem back," she says. "I wasn't useless like I thought I was, not an idiot like I felt I was. I walked out a different person. Instead of being depressed and lying around at home I have something to do, something to look forward to." Since starting with the enterprise, Judy has also secured permanent housing through Housing NSW and says she now has "more hope for my future". I walked out a different person. Instead of being depressed and lying around at home I have something to do, something to look forward to. Meet Kellie.
