6 sisters defy odds, set to study nursing despite being homeless for a decade

Six sisters, who endured a decade of homelessness, have embarked on a shared journey to pursue nursing degrees. Their challenging odyssey began in 2013 when their parents lost their home. Despite this, the parents’ determination to continue the education of their children remained unwavering. Their parents enrolled them in homeschooling as they navigated from one place to another, living with relatives and friends.

“In 2013, the Lawrence siblings said they were struggling to attend school after their parents lost their home,” reads a part of the caption written alongside a picture shared on Instagram page Good News Movement.

In the next few lines, the page added how the parents kept the learning of their daughters going. “The parents didn't want it to hold them back so they enrolled them in homeschooling and the 6 oldest sisters earned their GEDs in 2019 and attended Nassau Community College together. They then enrolled in SUNY Old Westbury where they will receive their degrees in public health in May. They also began a Master's program in public health at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University in August. After that they plan to take on nursing school. We are thrilled for you all! You’re all the good news today!” the caption further reads.
