Helping Mom, Baby Recover
The hurricane did more than disrupt Lisa Ann Hernandez’s life, it hit her when she was down.
Katrina destroyed all she had in Chalmette at the same time she was undergoing other life challenges.
After the storm, Hernandez found herself living in a women’s shelter, pregnant, alone and unemployed.
Volunteers of America’s Louisiana Family Recovery Corps (LFRC) helped Hernandez rebuild her life. After her daughter Chloe was born, LFRC helped her find an apartment and supplied baby items and furnishings.
Hernandez found a restaurant job and things started to look up. She found new motivation to look ahead with determination and gratitude. LFRC specializes in giving a hand up to those struggling to recover.
