“Nowell has helped me through one of the hardest phases of my life, becoming a mom. If it weren’t for Nowell, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be graduating this year. They’ve been incredibly supportive, providing essentials like diapers, wipes, clothes, baby gear, and even toys.
They also offered maternity leave, which was extremely helpful during the last month of my pregnancy, and still made sure I could keep up with my schoolwork.
The staff at Nowell are caring and involved, always checking in on how you're doing and even providing home visits. The teachers made me feel included and treated me and other students with the same respect and care as everyone else."
