Over the last two years, we began noticing an alarming trend in our program. Of the 44 women who walked through our doors, 18 did not qualify for the funding that helps offset their program costs. That is 40 percent of our residents. We saw this and knew we had to step in and bridge the gap.
Through this scholarship fund, these women now have support during those critical first 3 months. That time allows them to get proper documentation, find employment, and begin saving for long term stability like license reinstatement fees, a vehicle, and housing deposits.
Thank you to Wabash Valley Community Foundation for not only stepping in to meet this need, but for believing in the growth happening inside our walls every single day.
*On a personal note, our Program Director Melanie did a phenomenal job delivering the acceptance speech for this grant award. We could not be more proud of her courage and willingness she brings to the table each and every day. We are blessed to call her ours.
