Florida Atlantic University

Summer looks good on us 🫶

Florida Atlantic University alumna Ana Duarte knows the true meaning of resilience. 🦉💙

After experiencing homelessness as a child, Ana worked to build a life rooted in stability, purpose, and compassion. A Florida Atlantic graduate with a degree in social work, she created the kind of future she once dreamed of, then made sure her mother could be part of it too.

When Ana got her first apartment, she gave her mom the one thing she had always wanted: a place to call home.

A mother's (and daughter's) love Growing up, Ana Duarte and her mother, Anette, went through rough times and were frequently homeless, which Ana blamed on her mom. Their relationship was tested when a bitter Ana left to build her own life. Once Ana finally got her own apartment, she gave her mother a call. Steve Hartman reports.

To the moms who answered every call, sent every care package, and believed in us through it all, Happy Mother’s Day. 💐
