Would You Consider Helping Us in the “The Countdown for Carmella?”

Carol Kallendorf, Ph.D. and Carmella Lucero

Dear “Friend of DCT Foundation”:

You’ve helped make dreams come true through your donations, making possible for someone to walk out of poverty into a new life of possibilities.  Would you help us a little bit more on this last stage of this present journey?

Great news!! Our current DCT recipient, Carmella, is going to graduate right on schedule from St. Ed’s with a degree in Social Work.

This last semester, in addition to her course work, she has had an invaluable internship at Lifeworks. They were instrumental in getting her on the road to success initially and were responsible for getting her involved with the DCT Foundation. She and her children will be moving to Houston after graduating and her job prospects and future success are excellent.

Thanks to your help, we’ve been able to provide Carmella the financial, social, physical and emotional support she needed to pull herself up and now be truly on the edge of success!

Carmella’s success again confirms the DCT Foundation’s premise that a select group of poverty-level individuals can, with just nominal assistance on our part, move into the working middle class and enjoy a successful life experience.

As our focus on Carmella will wind down after graduation, we are already starting to look for our next recipient(s). As before, Lifeworks will help us by doing the initial screening for good, potential, “success” candidates, but we will have final selection responsibility.

To continue with our “Carmella support”, and to be in a position to take on our next challenge, we’re asking you to continue the Foundation’s momentum with your financial support. Please consider an on-going commitment to this now proven approach to success. Any amount helps – whether it is a monthly, quarterly, annual or one-time gift. Our plan is to be able to finish with Carmella and have a cushion in the bank to keep up the work.

We look forward to hearing from you. We hope you’ll be a frequent visitor to our website (www.everyonesdreamcometrue.com) to keep up with all that is going on with your DCT Foundation!

On the Edge of Success,

DCT Foundation
