Positive Determination

Nina* came into shelter after leaving her abusive family.  She brought her two young sons with her and was six months pregnant.  Upon arrival at the Social Service Center, Nina was determined to find a job and a safe house for her family.  She found a job at a nursing home as a CNA and works third shift, enabling her to spend time with her kids.  She has since moved out of shelter and into a house with her family.  She plans on working for as long as possible before having her new baby girl.  Nina is part of our Continuing Support Program and keeps regular contact with her case manager.
