Graduating seniors who are in The Foundling’s Young Mothers Program attended their high school prom this month.

 

Kyndal and Oumou, both moms who are part of The Foundling’s DeSales Mother/Child Program, attended the dance, which was held on boat that launched from Hoboken, New Jersey. With the assistance of staff, the girls got dolled up – complete with corsages – and were escorted to the dance.

 

Both Kyndal and Oumou spoke fondly of their time at the big dance, noting they’ll cherish the memories most of all.

 

“I liked everything about it – seeing all my friends. Everybody was having fun,” Oumou says. “And getting ready for the prom, the dress. We loved everything.”
