The Hinton Family’s New Beginning
Made possible by the unity of CAST, Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio, and the boundless generosity of Ron Wilkof.
A brighter, safer future in Massillon, Ohio
Originally hailing from Pennsylvania, the Hinton family relocated to Stark County in 2018, seeking closeness and comfort with their paternal family. Their journey, while filled with determination and grit, hasn’t been without challenges.
From living in limited spaces to facing unsafe conditions, Keshauna Hinton’s resilience never wavered. Her commitment saw her return to nursing school, graduating as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), and ultimately partnering with Habitat in 2021.
