Marisa is a devoted mother who has worked incredibly hard to build a better future for her family. Despite facing significant challenges, including periods of homelessness and raising her children while attending school, she remained determined to reach her goal of becoming a nurse. Marisa proudly graduated from nursing school—an accomplishment she achieved while caring for her children and even helping care for her granddaughter.
