*Nicole’s Journey of Hope and Love

Raised by her grandmother, *Nicole has faced many hardships, but her story is one of resilience and hope.

At just two years old, *Nicole’s life changed when both of her parents were imprisoned. 

While her mother was still imprisoned, she applied for a scholarship for *Nicole with a First Love Ministry, Ina Inakay. As a scholar, *Nicole receives support for her education, including school supplies, travel allowances, and assistance with fees. Shy by nature, she participates in monthly fellowship activities and school events, following her grandmother’s example.

Despite their financial struggles, *Nicole remains hopeful. She helps lead a children’s Sunday school at church, sometimes stepping in when the teacher is absent. Once a shy girl, she is now growing into a quiet leader, finding her voice as she faces each new challenge with strength and grace.

*Nicole’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience, the importance of community, and the enduring love between a grandmother and granddaughter.

Through all her challenges, *Nicole continues to move forward, proving that even in the hardest of circumstances, hope and love make all the difference.

 First Love International exists to see the most vulnerable compassionately surrounded with wholistic, Jesus-saturated love.
