April is a former foster youth and a single mother of two children. She and her children are the only members of her extended family in the US, but she is determined to make the best life for them. April is incredibly resilient and over the past few years, she has committed to finishing her nursing program - not only as a promise to herself, but an ode to her perseverance, and ultimately to better support her and her children. April is very involved in the UP4Youth program, consistently participating in all workshops and being sure to apply all content to her life, and sharing it with others who may be able to benefit from it.
