Today we’d like to introduce you to La Victoria McDuffie.
La Victoria, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
The driving force in my life has been my need to reach out and help those that are less fortunate, speaking words of encouragement to give them hope and a desire to help them to maintain their dignity. The first evidence of this need can be traced back to when I decided to help a ministry, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, that was already helping the less fortunate. Also, my fellow elder, Helen Jokoh, would travel to Nigeria Africa once or twice yearly and I would send clothing with her to bless the less fortunate.
The major hurdle I faced was when I ran out of my own, family and friends clothing to donate. As a result of that, I changed directions completely. I chose to swallow my pride and reach out to a vast amount of others for donations. The most difficult time in my life and perhaps the biggest hurdle to my success/happiness was not being able to fully donate enough time to my passion of reaching out and helping the less fortunate. As a result of that setback, I sacrificially resigned from my day job and chose to follow my passion.
The journey to have come into contact and meet so many people that have been so instrumental in assisting me to get to where I am today, founder and president of victorious covering, has been extremely humbling. Looking at myself today, I’m happy to have achieved all that I have in such a short time. We at victorious covering realize that the best is yet to come. God is not finished.
Has it been a smooth road?
It has not been as easy as I thought it would be. Although victorious covering has been abundantly blessed with clothes donations, there has not been many financial donations which have impacted the foundation in a serious manner because we don’t have enough space for operating properly. We have the donations stored in our apartment garage.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
