Last March, we heard this from Mariah:
"I just wanted to give you an update on how things are going with school. I’m finishing my career prep courses, we’re at the end with CPR it finishes on Monday. I ended with A’s on my other courses math, anatomy, and study skills. Starting next week will be the actual dental courses that I begin and I'm excited for it."
More recently, we received this from her:
"I just wanted to notify you and the Rotary club that I did graduate last week though we didn’t really get formal graduation. But I maintained my 4.0. I also got hired with Dr. Koussa’s office so I’m now his dental assistant. Last week was my first official week and it’s been going great."
Giselle's grant was to study dental assisting. She will benefit from the skills gained, but her two-year-old daughter will also benefit.
Each of our applicants has a special and unique story motivating them to move from where they are to a better life. In many cases, their motivation is what they want to provide and do for those they love.
We have the power to enable forever change, and most of the time, the net cost to our donors is zero because of the tax credit benefits. We are fortunate to live in a state where individual taxpayers are allowed to decide where they want some of their tax obligation to be spent.
