Dream Come True Recipient, Calandra Locket, is Accepted into Nursing School

Calandra Locket, one of our Dream Come True recipients, is on her way to realizing her dream!  She just got word last week that she has been accepted into the San Jacinto college school of nursing RN program.  We are so proud of Calandra and her accomplishments.  It has been a long process getting to this point and she has overcome many hurdles, including  having to relocate to  a city that can provide specialized medical services for her daughter who suffers from seizures.   Calandra exemplifies the Dream Come True mission,  as a single mother raising four children, she never gave up and is on her way to being a nurse and following her dream of a career and financial independence.

Calandra has been a Dream Come True “Dream Achiever” for over a year now.  Calandra overcome a difficult childhood of poverty and very challenging circumstances as a child and young person.  She has shown a great deal of resilience in successfully pursuing her education before she received help from the foundation.  She attended college in Austin in 2011 and moved to Houston, where she could receive better attention for one of her children who faces serious medical challenges.  Calandra is a person who has been upbeat in the most difficult circumstances.  She is articulate, and a very inspiring speaker.  She has done great work in presenting the Dream Come True Foundation mission of helping people “on the edge of success.
