After becoming pregnant as a teenager and leaving high school, NaShae Price enrolled in Goodwill Nurse-Family Partnership® (NFP) for support. Pregnant with her first child, she was struggling to secure stable housing, transportation and a living wage job to help support her growing family.
“My nurse helped me in multiple ways – emotionally, physically and financially,” NaShae said. “She's just been there in every way possible.”
NaShae’s nurse guided her through her desire to breastfeed, helped her secure funding for quality child care and was there at all hours of the day to answer questions.
“Visits with my nurse were great,” NaShae said. “They were very educational. We talked a lot about breastfeeding, daycare options and developmental milestones for my daughter.”
Now a mom of two, NaShae has her own home, transportation and a job in the health care industry that she is passionate about. She is also enrolled in a Certified Medical Assistant Certification program through Goodwill Ignite to enhance her earning potential.
“Goodwill Nurse-Family Partnership helped me rewrite my story,” NaShae said.
