A photo of two adults laughing with two young children. A quote from the story is at the bottom. The Illinois map with a Region highlighted in blue is to the right.

Life in general has been a challenge lately. No matter what, I still must be my best self to raise my babies.

There are many local resources that I use for my family. Safe Journeys, North Central Behavioral Health, and their Pediatrician, Dr.Dave, are a few.

We have also faced many challenges locally with the legal system and injustice; this all affects my children. I choose to believe every experience is different, and I smile every day.

I am currently a bus driver, and by treating the children and their parents with kindness and respect, I am spreading the hope I have for my family and theirs. Some people need the reminder that they can push through, too.
