Sibyl’s Story: A Face of Metrocrest
Sibyl is one of your neighbors. Not long ago, she moved to North Texas, full of hope for a new beginning. But life threw her a curveball. Making ends meet as she navigated her way in unfamiliar territory became challenging. Feeling lost and overwhelmed, she turned to Metrocrest Services for a lifeline.
What she found was more than just a helping hand. It was community. Through housing assistance, financial education, and access to nutritious meals, Sibyl began to rebuild her life. With each step forward, she gained strength and confidence. The support she received was instrumental in her journey to earning a bachelor’s degree, opening doors to a brighter future for herself and her family.

But within the last year, we have created a DEI Committee of staff to further this cause.
