Nakisha is a Navy Veteran with 8 years of service under her belt. When her career ended with the Navy, her career of service did not. After many surgeries and hardships, the overwhelming burden of medical bills forced her family of five into homelessness. Nakisha persevered.

Our Towns, Our Heroes Foundation provided 18 months of rent relief on their new family home, all while Nakisha and her Air Force Veteran husband continued working for non-profits to help other homeless veterans with their needs, as well as to be a bridge between those veterans and the VA.
