Monique arrived at the site on hiring day saying that she had a two year old daughter and a baby on the way, so while she sure couldn’t do any heavy lifting, having a job right then would make a big difference.

We brought her on to the crew and she worked bravely these last few weeks, making sure everyone had plenty of drinking water while they worked and helping to serve lunch. This week, much to our surprise, she had her baby! A healthy baby girl, delivered at home. Congratulations Monique. We are rooting for you.
