Scaling the Dream

It’s amazing to look back over the past year that Carmella and her family have been Dream Come True recipients.  She just completed a very demanding summer school session and has now begun her senior year at St. Ed’s.  Just 2 semesters away from achieving her dream of a bachelor’s degree in Social Work.  We’ve all learned a tremendous amount over the past year and shared great times, lots of laughter, and some tears and fears along the way.  We’ve been able to multiply our financial contributions about 2.5 times by generous in-kind gifts and services.  With all that we’ve learned, we are now ready to begin “scaling” the Dream Come True to assist more individuals and families.   Funding permitting, we plan to support several new recipients in the next 12 months.   We hope many people will join the Dream Come True Board and volunteers in breaking the cycle of poverty–one life and one family at a time.
