Nikkia came to us in November 2016. She has made many changes in her life since coming to Happy Haven. Nikkia is in R.O.T.C. and plans to graduate from Upperman High in May. She is interested in art and graphic design. Her plans after graduation are undecided, but she has been accepted for college. She is very friendly and outgoing and sets a good example for others. We pray she will remain a faithful servant of Christ and use her talents for Him.
