Helping Babies By Lifting Up Mothers
September 16, 2015
WASHINGTON – In a small red wooden house across from a wooded area in northeast Washington neighborhood, virtually unnoticed by their neighbors, are people who save and transform lives. There are no doctors. No nurses. No special emergency technicians. But, ask Rochele Norfleet what those people have meant to her. “I was a teen mother a couple years ago and at first I didn’t have any place to go,” said the 21-year-old Capitol Heights mother of two. “I wasn’t in school or anything.” That was before she came to the Healthy Babies Project, those people in that red house.
