Support: Scholarship

When I first heard the words泭Human Services, I wasnt sure they were meant for me. It took sitting in that first class, hearing stories that mirrored my own, to realize Id found more than a majorId found my purpose. Helping others isnt just something I care about. Its something I understand deeply.

As a single mother, my days are full. Balancing education and motherhood isnt easy. But in the quiet hoursafter homework is done and the house is stillI study. I dream. I believe in a future thats bigger than the struggles behind me.

If you asked me who my mentor was, Id have to say: its me. The version of me who didnt give up, even when no one was watching. The one who decided that being thoughtful, kind, and present mattered.

This scholarship reminded me that Im not walking alone. That single mothersoften overlookeddo matter. That someone believes in what Im building, not just for myself, but for the people I hope to serve.

Support like this doesnt just lift burdensit restores hope. And that kind of hope can change everything.

Thank you for helping those who need the most support. Single mothers endure a lot, and your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express. Your help istruly appreciated.
