Family Bios: The Kibret Family
Adina is a single mother with four sons: Yonase, 14, Neiyu, 7, Amanuel, 6, and Brook, 2. Her family moved into Lents Landing in January. She has worked as a market sales associate at a national thrift store for close to five years. She used to live in subsidized housing and was concerned about the street fights in the neighborhood. She is excited that she is now a homeowner and part of a community where her boys will thrive. Her dream is to have her boys receive a good education, and she believes living in a stable home will help them succeed in school and life.
