In 2008, Natarsha realized her world was about to turn upside down at the young age of 33 when she did a self-exam and noticed something abnormal.But instead of harping on the difficult and distressing times she’s endured, she chooses to focus on what’s important to her: happiness, positivity, and love for life.

A Place of Opportunity: Luckner's Story

I’m from Haiti and moved to New York City in 2017. I came to the YMCA in March 2018 to learn English. I left my country, but I didn’t finish my education. Learning English gives me more opportunities. I can go to university again, and find a good job in America.
