Monique Martin and her kids have been wonderful, they have found a home and have left the nest. They have completed many goals while they were attending our program. Monique’s kids, Yadiel and Yoselyn have completed their Be Internet Awesome Certificate, Cubettos Logical Curriculum, and their 35 hours of attending class. Monique received her new computer and gift card. Monique has also contributed to the program and shared her skills of yoga and affirmations exercises. Thank you Monique, it was a pleasure to have you and your kids join our program. Best to you and your family!

Thank you to Heading Home NM for helping Monique and her family find a home!
