Empower & Equip Single Parents Enrolled in College

Dear Valued Supporter, 

Thank you so much for giving HOPE time after time. There is a lot I could say about the lives you have changed, but I thought it would be even better to let you read the words of a participant you impacted directly. 

"Thank God for HOPE!!

In the fall of the year, my car was repossessed. I spent $400 per week on transportation getting to and from school because I did not have access to a car. It was extremely difficult to get around with three children, especially when it came to my children’s games and practices. HOPE stepped in to offer Lyft rides through their partnership with Heirborn, but I still struggled to financially keep up with the added expenses. I lost three job offers due to no transportation. HOPE saw my need and helped me get approved for a car gift from Heiborn. They assisted me with the down payment and my first two months of insurance payments. Two days before Thanksgiving, my children and I received a Chevrolet, solving my financial issues. I was able to get a higher paying job and cover my family’s needs. I am SO grateful to HOPE and the HOPE family of donors for supporting this great mission." —Chasity

Every time you contribute to this project, you are providing much needed supportive services to ensure that another famly is not a victim to poverty and racial inequality due to inequity and income gaps. 

At times it feels like "THANK YOU" is not enough, but we could not make these types of strides in the lives of single parent's like Chasity without the support of people like you! 

With Deep Grattitude,
