To the LCDA Scholarship Donors.

As the first generation in my family to go to college, I am thankful with all those who are helping me reach my goals in starting as a incoming freshman. this scholarship has given me the opportunity to continue my education and to be motivated of donating when I’m in the same position you are. My family and would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for not only helping me but also the Hispanic community. Some of us have seen and been through the hardships that our parents have been through to get us to this country and give us a better education. By donating to the LCDA scholarship Program you as Donors are helping us in having a better future for not just ourselves but also our family, community and this country. I know that this scholarship will help me out to achieve my career goals and someday be in your position to continue giving other students the help to continue their education.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Hello my name is Marisol and I have been in the Nuestras Familias program for about 2 years. This program has helped me in many aspects of my life; but the most important one is in my parenting skills. I am so grateful for been able to receive this service. This program teaches us many things that we didn’t even realized or thought before. Last year my family support worker helped us to understand that there was an issue with my son, according with the ASQ’s results because it showed a developmental delay. My husband and I didn’t pay much attention on that. I believe as a parent is hard to accept that your child can have problems. My Family Support Worker encouraged me to with consult with my pediatrician. We asked our doctor to refer us to a specialist but she didn’t. My worker found some other resources and we finally got an appointment with a specialist. My son has been diagnosed with autism and he is receiving services now. My worker also advised me to get my son on an early head start program and now he is receiving services there too. It was hard for us the process because my son is not even 2 years old but we are learning how to work with him and learning more and more about his condition. Many people have asked me how I found out about my son’s condition and the only thing that I can answer is that I never have known if it wasn’t for my worker’s help. I can’t even imagine our life with out her help. This program has changed our lives and my son’s future. I have not words to tell you how much I appreciate everything that the program has done for us.

Agencia Latina,

I’m writing you this letter to thank you for all the help you’ve given my son. During the time that he attended counseling you cannot imagine the changes that he has made in his way of thinking and acting. Thanks to your agency he is motivated to finish school and plans to graduate and study for a career. Thank you for helping him get back into school,

Again, thank you very much,

“Mamá de un cliente.”
