Favour had a lifetime of experience as a nurse in Germany and her home country of Nigeria. But when she moved with her children to Washington State to be closer to extended family, her overseas nursing license wasn’t valid. She and her kids were living with family while she worked to pass the tests to work as an RN in the US - until they were evicted by the landlord for being over the maximum capacity of the unit.

Suddenly, her problems began to mount: unhoused, without the certification to work, and not enough money to pay for the RN tests.

She visited The Salvation Army for food assistance - but found so much more. She met Angie Escoto, the Case Manager for The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope program. Angie walked alongside her each step of the way, and after two years of hard work, Favour is now a working RN in the Seattle area, she and her kids have their own apartment, and they’re thriving.

Enjoy this video of Favour’s inspiring journey!
