They got this, right?
Think back to a time when someone gave you the support or encouragement you needed to follow a dream. It meant a lot, right?
Achieving our goals can be tough, but it is always a little easier when you know there are people in your corner, rooting for you to succeed. For so many young adults who spend time in foster care, that cheering section may not be as loud and we are fiercely committed to amplifying those supportive voices.
Last year we were able to award nearly $150,000 in scholarships to over 45 amazing individuals. One of them, Cache, was given $9,000 towards her education at California State University of Los Angeles.
Recently she told us, "I just entered as a transfer this past Fall 2022 and I'll be graduating this Spring 2023! I'm so excited to finally finish my BA and plan on applying for a joint MA/JD program later this year. I've attached my Dean's List notice to this email - I made it out my first semester with all A's, something I am truly proud of since I've managed my daughter's schedule and my work schedule too! Thank you so much for this opportunity and support!"
We know we can do this.
Because we don't just believe in them, we believe in you too.
