"In the spring of 2016 I will be graduating with my bachelors of social work and one thing I am sure of, is that I will have you all in mind. Thanks to you some of my dreams are no longer dreams, they are now realistic goals. Thanks to you I have continued to strive for more. The help that you have given me has inspired me to do the same. I strongly believe that in the field of social work I can accomplish this."
Angie Elizabeth Nava
"My name is Mario Soto. I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship from you and your organization. I wanted to say thank you for your help with aiding me in my path to continue my education. Your generous scholarship has helped me focus more on my school work and less on how I was going to make my next monthly tuition payment."
Mario Soto
"During my senior year in high school I thought about throwing in the towel several times and not even thinking about attending a college because I did not have money and I come from a low income family. However, thanks to individuals like you I am dreaming and believing again on having a better future. Thank you and I will never stop being thankful. God bless you."
