When Eliah emigrated to the U.S. from St. Lucia at age 15, she was pregnant with her first child.
“Being here has been a struggle for me, having a daughter at a young age,” said Eliah, who now has three children, 17-year-old Regine, 12-year-old Rayquanne and 7-year old Rochelle.
In spite of the struggle, Eliah had big dreams to go back to school, earn a high school diploma and continue on to college. Find out how Eliah is achieving that dream with help from one of The Village’s Family Resource Centers.
