age of 19 and six months pregnant with her first child, Shalana found herself in a challenging situation. Living among severely abused women in a shelter left her feeling uncomfortable until fate led her to Casa de los Angelitos.

One thing I also really appreciated when I lived there was the ability to be driven to go grocery shopping. I tremendously enjoyed that. I loved cooking in that clean, well-maintained kitchen. Working or going to school was encouraged at Casa and within a short time, I found a job at Urban Plates restaurant since I am a good cook, working 8 hour shifts. By the time they realized I was pregnant, they decided that I was too valuable not to keep. My boyfriend, in the end, wanted to be a part of my baby\u2019s life and decided to pay for an apartment. So I left the home when I was 8 months pregnant and am now taking care of my baby full time.&#8221;<br \/><a href=\"\/nancy-durans-story\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a41b82 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"0a41b82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-b041809 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b041809\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6df4274\" data-id=\"6df4274\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae118ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ae118ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/casadelosangelitos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-300x298-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-850\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/casadelosangelitos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-300x298-1.png 300w, https:\/\/casadelosangelitos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-300x298-1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8774f48\" data-id=\"8774f48\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ed00b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9ed00b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Shannynne<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3928762 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3928762\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cMy name is Shannynne and Casa de los Angelitos helped out many years ago when I found myself pregnant and alone. I was working at Starbucks when I became pregnant. The man I was supposed to marry decided to change his mind and my parents told me I was on my own. I found Casa when I was about 6 months pregnant and they welcomed me with open arms. While at Casa I gave birth to my beautiful daughter who I named Dove. Also while there I met by best friend Patricia. This amazing woman told me I needed a career so she took me to school with her to become a medical assistant. We worked so hard at school and dreamed of becoming nurses together. Tragedy struck and God took my best friend to heaven. I wanted to honor Patricia so I kept on with my schooling. I am now a nurse and still going to school to one day become a doctor and will soon be getting married. I want to show my daughter that no matter what, if you want something bad enough and are willing to do the hard work, you can make your dreams come true.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84adf8d
