When she was asked who her children would stay with if she got the job, Valeria, 24, didn’t know what to say. Days later, on a winter morning, she received a message with the results of the culinary program she had applied to, to receive training and a job as a cook in New York City.

Valeria, who prefers not to give her real name for this story, has been living with her kids in New York’s immigrant shelters for eight months.
