Adriana's Journey: Breaking the Cycle of Generational Poverty with JPP

Empowering Families Through Education and Support

When I think about the incredible stories of transformation, Adriana's journey stands out. Over two years ago, she joined the JPP program while living in affordable housing. Adriana was determined to create a better life for herself and her two children. Her goals were clear: continue her education, increase her income, and advance her career in healthcare. But she knew she needed the right support system to turn those goals into accomplishments.

Through JPP’s whole-family approach, Adriana received personalized coaching and resources to support her every step of the way. Together, she and her coach created a realistic plan to earn her Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) certificate while balancing the busy demands of parenting. She also attended financial literacy workshops, where she learned how to budget effectively, reduce debt, and begin building savings for the future. Monthly goal-setting sessions provided Adriana with the structure and encouragement she needed to stay focused and move forward.

The Importance of Community Support

JPP’s network of community partners played a crucial role in helping her maintain stable housing while she worked toward her educational and professional goals. This support system was vital. It allowed her to concentrate on her studies without the stress of housing instability.

Today, Adriana holds an LPN degree, has paid off debt, built her savings, and is thriving in her nursing career. Her children are also excelling academically, growing and succeeding alongside her. It’s heartwarming to see how far they’ve come together.
