From Emptiness to Empowerment A Mother’s Comeback

When Jody Hernandez came to Aim High, she was carrying a heavy weight  navigating personal struggles, motherhood, and the emotional toll of starting over. What she needed most was guidance, support, and people who believed in her even when she struggled to believe in herself.

With her incredible determination, the loving support of her mother Bobby, and the steady presence of the Aim High team, Jody began rebuilding her life not just for herself, but for her children.

“Awwww thank you, Liz this made me cry lol. I couldn’t have done this without you. I’m very blessed and fortunate to have met you and Aim High and to have you guys as my mentors and support system. You had hope in me that nobody else had. When I felt like giving up, you refused to see me go down like that and I love y’all for that. I’m so very thankful for the help and energy you put into my success.”
