Janine's story....

HopefortheFuture

I'm also proud of myself... I don't have a mom whom I can ask to help me, but I've been raising my little baby alone for over five years, without a father, without any help from family. But I now have the biggest family in Ma’s vir Wellington. It gives me the greatest hope and encouragement every time they acknowledge me and show love to me when I get here. I will testify over and over abouthowgoodGodis.
