Giving birth alone at sixteen, a young mother panicked when nurses took her newborn daughter away for hours after delivery.
The nurse returned with essential baby supplies and completed applications for a mother-and-baby supportive housing program.
Having been a teen mother herself, the nurse pledged to ensure no young mother would ever have to leave the hospital unsupported.
With her daughter safe, the young mother moved into housing three days later, supported by the nurse’s monthly visits for a year.
