“Since being a part of DNNC Steps to Success, even though its been for a short time, I have already been able to see my life change for my daughter and I. When my mom passed away I had no place to go. Without a mother and father to help me, my aunt took me and my newborn daughter into their home. I was living in their basement washroom which was very confined and not private. However, I was grateful, yet after getting my cosmetology license and being a part of DNNC Steps to Success they helped me get my own apartment that is affordable and safe for my daughter and I. Thanks to DNNC Steps to Success I have my first apartment, I’m able to run my own hair business, and most importantly able to take care of my baby girl.”

“Before this program I did not have a clear direction. I didn’t have my own place to live for my baby nor did I have enough money to even begin to look for my own apartment. I rented a small room while working a part-time job that only averaged about 10 hours per week. I needed the flexibility in my life to raise my child but I wasn’t making enough money to truly support him. I was stuck in a hard place but thanks to DNNC Steps to Success, I can say I’m no longer on Welfare, I have a career, my own business, and stable housing in a 2 bedroom apartment for my son and I. DNNC has changed the trajectory of my life and re-defined my future.”
