 Child Saving Institute -- Nicole wanted to overcome her past. She’d grown up in poverty, witnessed abuse and drug addiction in her home. Now, she was 17 years old and the mother of a six-month-old. Through the Teen Parenting program at Child Saving Institute, she realized she had the power to overcome years of hardship. With the help of a family support specialist, she’s developing positive parenting skills, learning about child development, and finding out what it means to have healthy family relationships. Nicole is close to earning her high school diploma, and she’s even dreaming of college. Nicole is intent not to repeat the mistakes made by her own parents; she wants something better for her child and herself. Thanks to your contribution, our community's kids have a better chance at success and a healthy future!
