CEO LETTER: Your Gift Can Turn ‘I can’t’ Into ‘I did it!’
Dear supporters,
You can help a single parent like Samantha turn “I don’t know how I’m going to do this” into “I did it.”
Samantha was a single mom living paycheck to paycheck. She was working for a trucking company recruiting drivers and going to school full-time. Money was tight. She didn’t receive child support.
There were times she had to choose between paying tuition, putting food on the table, or buying medication for her daughter, Addie.
Right now, there are hundreds of single parents like Samantha who have applied for a scholarship, and we need your help. Your gift today could turn hopelessness into hope.
Would you consider a gift? Because when you give, a generous supporter will match your gift dollar for dollar!
Donors like you helped make Samantha’s 2010 graduation possible. Sixteen years later, Samantha watched Addie earn her own bachelor’s degree. Your generosity can create opportunities that last for generations.
Samantha’s debt was becoming insurmountable. She knew she was just weeks away from having to drop out of school.
Then someone like you gave a gift and invested in her. Someone who didn’t even know her. The scholarship did more than help pay for her education. It gave her hope. It reminded her that someone believed she was worth investing in.
Samantha went on to earn her bachelor’s degree, which opened doors. It qualified her for opportunities that had once been out of reach. Her daughter watched her study hard and prioritize education. Earlier this year, her daughter, Addie, graduated from the University of Arkansas and is now working in Houston.
Because of your compassion and generosity, today Samantha has a successful career in human resources for a leading company in Arkansas.
“Those who gave to make this scholarship possible totally changed my life. I am forever grateful. I now have the financial stability I once could only dream about.”
Your gift can give another single parent that same opportunity. Please give today. Someone’s future may begin with your generosity.
P.S. Your donation will be matched. Whatever you can give will be DOUBLED. Your compassion today can change generations of families struggling for a better life.
