Iroquois Homes resident Sandra Favez is one of four people in her family to upgrade their education through the Louisville Metro Housing Authority GED program. She and her brother Eric followed in the footsteps of her Mother and older sister when they each received their GED. Sandra, a student at Decker College, completed her training as a medical office specialist. With three small children, Sandra realized she needed to do something to take care of them – and herself.
