Do1Thing: The story of Nicole
Nicole Santos thrived as a little girl, learning art and growing up in the beauty salons where her mother worked. But Nicole says her life began to go down hill at the age of 9 when her mother died and her father stepped back into her life. Now in her 20s, separated from her husband, homeless with two children and a third on the way, Nicole has found sanctuary and a place to restart her life at a Covenant House in Florida. This story was made by multimedia producer Laura Heald of Straw Hat Visuals and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Bill Frakes of Sports Illustrated for Do1Thing.org.
