4. Building healthy, stable families.
Lifetrack is a champion for families
facing the greatest disparities in income,
employment, education and health. Our
families experience the most significant
barriers and too often lack the critical
support network needed to succeed.
At Lifetrack, we build that network and
bring real tools so parents, kids and
individuals can create and experience
a new vision for what is possible, and a
renewed trust in their inherit strengths.
With you in their corner, we are investing
in positive futures for families, children
and our communities. Last year, 1,554
people became active participants in
our economy through career-focused
employment. Additionally, 24 refugee
families, who were earning less than
$1,000 a year before partnering with
Lifetrack, landed long-term employment
and are building equity through safe and
healthy homes they purchased in
southern Minnesota.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
AND BOARD CHAIR
Also in 2015, 1,400 new parents were
supported in exploring options and
making positive, proactive health,
education and communications decisions
for their children who are deaf or hard
of hearing because of Lifetrack’s Parent
to Parent Outreach Services. In Families
Together Services, 258 at-risk young
children learned healthy ways to manage
stress, express their emotions and prepare
for kindergarten, getting them off to the
best start possible.
Families who face significant challenges
also hold the greatest promise for our
community. Lifetrack’s deep legacy
of supporting families is only possible
because of our partnership with you and
your family. Read on to hear stories about
how our work celebrates and stabilizes
families, empowers parents and fosters
resilience in kids.
Thank you for your support, generosity
and talents shared.

6. A Young Mom Gets Help Landing Her First Job
Anna has a passion for helping young children
with disabilities. She knows what it’s like to
have a learning disability and have a hard time
in school. But this struggle is exactly what fuels
her desire to help others. It inspired her to enroll
in the Early Childhood Education program at
Minneapolis Community and Technical College.
“In high school, I had this crazy idea that I
wanted to open up a school for special needs
kids,” said Anna. “I think that they deserve to
have a lot more attention.”
Anna was working towards her degree when
her son was born. She enrolled in the Minnesota
Family Investment Program and got in touch
with Lifetrack. That’s when she met Mohamed, a Lifetrack Employment Counselor, who
worked to help her gain the confidence she needed for the job search. As a young mom,
Anna didn’t have any experience in the workforce. “It was hard to find a job because
I never had a job in my life,” said Anna. “I didn’t have the qualifications to do retail or
cashier work or anything.”
Mohamed helped push Anna out of her comfort zone and commit to the sometimes
grueling process of a job hunt. “Without Mohamed, I wouldn’t have gotten the courage
to look for a job. I would have been stuck at home, feeling helpless,” said Anna. When
she heard she was offered a job, she was excited to tell Mohamed.
With her first job under her belt, Anna now has more skills and experience to be
successful in the next chapter of her life. Today, Anna is focused on her volunteer
efforts, pursuing her dream in Early Childhood Education, and looking for more
part-time work to support her family while she completes school. She sees Mohamed
and Lifetrack as part of the support network that helped her to learn and do better.
“It’s just great that somewhere out there, there’s people that want to help you,” said
Anna. “It’s been awesome.”
Lifetrack partners with Hennepin County to deliver employment services,
such as job search counseling for low-income parents. Learn more at
www.Lifetrack-MN.org/Services.

themselves and provide

8. FINDING CONNECTION IN A
HEARING-CENTERED WORLD
A family finds community & support to
help their son thrive
Wayne and Allison are the type of parents who
gush unapologetically about their kids. Wayne
will even refer to his son as the “apple of my
eye” in public. This endearing quality gives you
a sense of just the kind of nourishing home
Wayne and Allison were building as a family,
when they found out they were expecting their
second child, Frederick.
What they didn’t expect was that Frederick
would have certain challenges that other kids do
not. Early hearing tests revealed that Frederick
had severe/profound hearing loss in both of his
ears. “It was something we were not prepared
for and we didn’t know what to do next,” said Wayne.
In their home in Illinois, the hospital connected them with a variety of resources that
helped them start to understand how to help their son. However, when Wayne accepted
a position at 3M in Minnesota, all of that changed. “We felt a little lost again once we got
out here,” said Wayne.
That’s when Wayne and Allison’s simple Google search brought up Minnesota Hands &
Voices. They met with a Parent Guide, Robin, who helped them understand the medical
and educational options available. But what made the greatest impact was attending
Minnesota Hands & Voices family events. “When Frederick was diagnosed, our hope
was that he would grow up to lead a normal life,” said Wayne. “And having family
events, where you can see kids a few years older than Frederick just being typical kids is
unbelievably comforting to me as a parent.”
That is the ultimate goal of Minnesota Hands & Voices – to offer parents tools to help
their kids succeed while building a rich community where families find understanding,
support and friends.
Minnesota Hands & Voices, a program of Lifetrack, is a community that offers
support and resources to families with children who are deaf and hard of hearing.

…having events that you
can go to as a family,
where you can see other
kids just like Frederick
having a good time—that
is the most comforting
thing to me as a parent..”

12. Cellastine’s kids receive emotional and
social support through
Lifetrack’s therapeutic preschool
Cellastine is a powerhouse of a parent. She’s
the mom of a band of eight spirited and
insightful daughters. When all the girls get in a
room together, laughter and chatter flow easily.
Even music seems to emerge from nowhere, as
the girls sing songs in unison. It’s an energy that
anyone from a big family might know.
But being a single mom to a big family, without
much support has been a challenge. Cellastine is
the first to say that after her daughter Ja’Niyha
was born, she was struggling. A public health
nurse saw this and suggested she look into the
programs at Lifetrack. Cellastine was a little doubtful at first, but ultimately, she decided
to give it a try. “I just don’t hesitate with anything that can make me better with my
kids,” said Cellastine.
Cellastine’s biggest worry was that her children needed to develop better social skills
and ways to process their feelings. “We’ve had issues with the kids trying to take on the
stress and worries of an adult,” she said. “I also didn’t have a vehicle four years ago, so
my children were never in a daycare setting to pick up social skills with anybody outside
of my home,” said Cellastine. The family signed up for Lifetrack’s Home Visiting program,
and subsequently, her three youngest daughters enrolled in the therapeutic preschool.
With therapy and help from their teachers, Cellastine’s daughters learned how to express
themselves better and work through stress. “The thing I appreciate the most was the
counseling because it helped me communicate with my kids better,” said Cellastine. “We
talk about feelings a lot now… How they are young don’t need to worry about anything
else going on. They’re just being kids now.”
Cellastine said the growth and accomplishments of her family make her the most
proud. “The kids have grown, grades are better, reports are better at school, there’s
more stability and consistency in the house now, versus before. Everything else has
fallen in place.”
The Families Together Program is an intensive, relationship-based early childhood
intervention program for families who face critical challenges in life. Learn more

13. FOSTERING RESILIENCE
IN KIDS
Kids are resilient when they are able to
move forward after facing minor setbacks,
daily challenges or even a traumatic event.
Lifetrack helps kids who experience the
stresses of poverty find their strengths
and prepare for kindergarten through
our unique therapeutic preschool. We
help kids who are deaf or hard of hearing
build confidence with Role Models,
American Sign Language instruction
and community support.

A SPARK OF GENEROSITY
A SPARK OF GENEROSITY
A 7th Grader ignites a new family tradition to help others
Vinny, a 7th grader from Plymouth, MN spent his last Christmas thinking more of others
than himself. His stepmom, Tara, said that after searching the internet for charities to
give to this holiday season, he stumbled upon Lifetrack’s Adopt-A-Family Program.
“Underprivileged families mean a lot to him,” Tara told us when she explained why he
wanted to get involved with the program. The whole idea of giving people presents that
might not have the opportunity to get presents really appealed to him.”
Vinny not only bought gifts, with some help from Tara, but also wrapped the gifts
for two boys in the program. “I think it made him think about other kids and when he
received his own gifts, he was more appreciative than a typical 13 year-old boy would
typically be.” When Vinny and his family completed the project he said “I totally want
to do that again next year.”
