TESTIMONIES
We'd love to hear your story about how we've made an impact!
From Monica Novoa, 2008 Single Parent Scholarship Recipient:
I want to thank you very much for choosing me as this year's scholarship winner! This news couldn't have come at a better time. I am truly humbled and grateful for your decision. As you know, a student's college tuition is expensive but even more so when we have to provide for our children at the same time. I am very excited and enthusiastic about this news. This encourages me to keep going and to not lose faith in my dreams. I know that with every penny I receive, my overall educational success will be met. Financial stress is huge when you are a single parent and in college. Achieving good grades, having a positive attitude, being consistent, and having faith in God and in those people he puts in my path is what will get me through these stressful times. Both my son and I will benefit from your generous gift.
From Jordan Lee, 2008 Minorities in Leadership Scholarship Recipient:
Thank you for choosing me as the 2008 recipient for the George Geng On Lee Minorities in Leadership Scholarship. Going to college has always been one of my greatest dreams. I've worked my entire high school career so that one day I would be given this opportunity. Your scholarship means so much to me for it will help me pay for the furthering of my education! It also means that you have faith in me. Now that I am attending CSU Fresno and am away from my family, it's great to know that there are people who care, who want me to succeed, and are cheering me along. Once again, THANK YOU! I'm honored that you have chosen me and I won't let you down! Thank you for investing in my future.
From Trinity Bodine, 2009 Single Parent Scholarship Recipient:
I have been blessed by your generosity. I thank you with all my heart for impacting my life, and taking a big load off of my shoulders financially. I have dedicated my life to education - to provide for my children and to follow my dream. You bring us hope and help us feel good about pressing on and keeping up the good work. You have made me very happy. Your donation has helped my family - by providing for me to further my education. You are appreciated. Bless your hearts.
From Safira, 2007 Adopt a Family Recipient
"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the help during the Holidays of 07. I didn't know what I was going to do to make my kids Christmas wishes come true. When I signed up for the Capture the Dream Program, I didn't know that I was going to get everything I had asked for plus more. I only thought I was going to get one need and one want. I didn't expect to be sleeping in my own bed instead of us sharing a twin mattress.
I came out here with nothing and I ended up with a lot. It really made me feel better about things that I had going on in my life. Being a single parent is hard especially when you are somewhere where you have no family or friends. I was so happy to see my kids smiling when they saw all the things that they had got for Christmas.
I ended the year happy and it helped me to start the New Year out happy knowing that good things come to people who be patient and that never give up when things get really bad. Capture the Dream is what you did for me and my family. Thank you and please continue the foundation to help families in need."
From Adelina Aramburo, Principal Cesar Chavez Elementary, 2009 DreamPack Recipient:
Thank you for the generous donation of backpacks in 2009. Our students, parents, and staff were extremely thankful. We hope to be a recipient again this year. Purchasing backpacks and school materials adds to the tremendous financial challenges faced by Cesar Chavez Families. Many parents work 2-3 jobs and have a hard time meeting all of their financial obligations. San Francisco is an extremely expensive city and any way that we can relieve some of that burden is tremendously helpful. Providing students with study materials assures them that they are ready to learn and also strengthens the relationship between the school and parents
