John, 49 years old, NJ

John has faced significant adversity, including periods of homelessness dating back to his childhood. Despite his own health struggles, particularly ongoing back issues from a spinal surgery, he remains dedicated to providing the best possible care for his children. The past few years have been especially difficult and marked by instances of homelessness, during which his children were temporarily separated from him. Nevertheless, his love for his children has remained his driving force. Thankfully, they have since been reunited with him and are now living with him full-time. John's determination to create a stable home for them keeps him motivated, even on the toughest days. As a single father and primary caregiver to three children, he has faced many challenges but continues to strive to provide for them.
