E Finds the Tools for Success

E grew up in the foster care system, always feeling alone. When he first arrived at Louis Nine House he was uncomfortable around the other tenants. Today, E credits the NCS team and the services at Louis Nine House with giving him a voice. NCS empowered E to believe in himself, helped him secure a scholarship, and supported him to achieve his dream of going to trade school… something he never thought he would accomplish.

When he needed tools and a uniform to to complete his education, NCS was able to provide them with support from the Futures Fund. He graduated trade school in 2019 and is now working for a construction company doing demolition. He uses the tools he received from NCS daily.

He now hopes to start his own construction business and employ other NCS residents as a way of paying it forward.
