Vlairis E., a recent H.O.P.E., Inc. graduate, shared how the support she received allowed her to pursue the career of her dreams and ensure she was equipped for long-term financial success.
Vlairis's dream since she was just a little girl was to work in healthcare and while in high school, she was introduced to what would become her passion -- to become a dental hygenist. Since graduating from high school in 2009, she has been working hard toward that dream. However, before being able to reach her goal, she became a single mother to her now three-year-old son. If it weren't for the support of donors like you, Vlairis might have been derailed and never realized her dream.
"As a single mom and full-time college student, it was getting impossible to make daycare and rent payments. H.O.P.E., Inc. came at the right time to help me achieve my goal for a better future for my son and me. This program offered help with daycare, rent, and even paid for three months of swimming classes for my son. Besides the financial assistance, this program also provided me with training and seminars to help me make better financial decisions in the future. I will forever be thankful for the assistance and help throughout this journey."
We can't thank you enough for being the supporter of dreams!
With gratitude,
Kenita Smith
H.O.P.E., Inc. CEO/President/Founder
