Greetings!
What a summer season we've had and we are still going strong with many, exciting opportunities for you to help us have an impact! From our Colorado sporting events and our giveSPORTS drives to our preparation for the new school year with Fill A Backpack, we're excited to partner with you. We could not accomplish what we do without your continued support, so thank you! We hope you'll check out all of the exciting updates highlighted below. |
| This Month's Story of Hope | | |
While there are many stories of hope every day at A Precious Child, we just HAD to share Dorettie and Alfonso's story this month! Dorettie - a 27-year-old, single mom of four boys - is devoted to doing whatever it takes to provide for her children. She is a "ball of energy" whose strengths are many. She was a featured speaker at our 2014 Gala and informed guests that she was unemployed and looking for work. Our long-time supporter Mister Sparky Electrical Services was at the event and stepped up to help get her a job. Dorettie has since earned her GED and is an employee at Mister Sparky Electrical Services!
Dorettie's work ethic, self-sufficient attitude, and positive spirit have allowed her to become the role model she wants to be for her boys. Dorettie's boys do not want her to have to work so hard to care for them, but they are proud of everything she has accomplished. We are grateful for the opportunity to support strong women like Dorettie on a regular basis and look forward to celebrating her "graduation" from needing our services in the near future.
