Nina & Her Daughters Story

December, 2023

Nina and her daughter have been working with a HOPE 4 Youth Case Manager for over a year now. When she first came to the Drop-In Center she was jumping from job to job because she did not have a stable living situation. As a mother, Nina knew she needed to create a safe and stable environment for her child. Her Case Manager was able to help her get her own apartment through an Anoka County housing partnership that provided rental support. Then, Nina applied and was hired at a local hospital. She now has work she enjoys and is able to support her and her child. Nina shared with her Case Manager that she is interested in higher education, but said, “One step at a time”. Through our support and resources, Nina and her daughter are experiencing HOPE and are excited for their future!
