By the time young people reach the Dallas
Halfway House,
they are caught in a spiral of trouble.
This is their last chance in the juvenile system
before being sent into an adult prison.
Herd is seeing Nash volunteers to make sure
that their last chance is their best chance.
They've tried to help us learn right from wrong.
I just want to thank Ms. Nash for being there
for us
when we need her most of all.
As a board member for the Dallas Advisory
Council for the Texas Youth Commission,
Mrs. Nash takes time to make sure the kids can
feel like kids again, organizing field trips
for them.
Hurtisine is more of what I consider a sport
plug for our agency.
She goes out, I mean, anything we need.
If there's a special event coming up, that lady
can go out and find resources that seemingly
nobody can find.
Hurtisine makes time in her schedule as a
private duty nurse
to also be an active member on six other
non-profit boards,
including the Chance Center to Help Abuse Children,
the Dallas Bethlehem Center, and the
Multi-Ethnic Heritage Foundation.
Hurtasin says she just can't say no when an
organization needs her help,
especially when it benefits young people.
That's where it all begins.
When we're children, the children are growing up,
and their life is being set, and it makes a big
impression on them.
Hurticine overcame a childhood learning disability.
Now she spends her time helping others overcome
their obstacles.
