6 sers defy odds, set to study nursing despite being homeless for a decade | Trending

Six sers, who endured a decade of homelessness, have embarked on a shared journey to pursue nursing degrees. Their challenging odyssey began in 2013 when their parents lost their home. Despite this, the parents’ determination to continue the education of their children remained unwavering. Their parents enrolled them in homeschooling as they navigated from one place to another, living with relatives and friends. Lawrence siblings posing with their parents.

They then enrolled in SUNY Old Westbury where they will receive their degrees in public health in May. They also began a Master’s program in public health at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University in August. After that they plan to take on nursing school. We are thrilled for you all!
