Success Stories

Rochelle Goodwin

“The 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation helped provide financial support so I could pay for my emergency and finish my education.”

Through donations from the community, 糖心vlog传媒 alumni, and 糖心vlog传媒 employees, Rochelle received emergency financial assistance to get her car repaired and finish her degree.

When an 糖心vlog传媒 student and single mother experienced a financial emergency, the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation鈥檚 Emergency Grant Fund got her back on track.

鈥淚 was in my forties and a single mother of two sons when I decided I wanted to attend college to make a better life for myself and my family,鈥 said Rochelle. 鈥淚 always knew that I wanted to help others especially the elderly and children with autism. I had been working in a variety of jobs that were unfulfilling and provided me with no future career path. I chose to attend 糖心vlog传媒 and work towards a degree in Health and Human Services.鈥

One day when Rochelle was driving to class, her driver鈥檚 side door flew open. She had to miss her classes and desperately needed financial assistance to pay for the repairs to her car so she could attend school and provide for her family.

When Rochelle asked her 糖心vlog传媒 advisors and mentors for guidance, they suggested she seek assistance from the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation. Through donations from the community, 糖心vlog传媒 alumni, and 糖心vlog传媒 employees, Rochelle received emergency financial assistance to get her car repaired and finish her degree.

鈥淚 had one of life鈥檚 emergencies and didn鈥檛 have the financial means to overcome it,鈥 said Rochelle. 鈥淭he 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation helped provide financial support so I could pay for my emergency and finish my education.鈥

鈥淭hrough hard work, perseverance, and support, I was able to graduate in August with an Associate Degree in Health and Human Services,鈥 said Rochelle. 鈥淚n addition, I have already secured a full-time job through my internship. Had it not been for the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation鈥檚 help, I would not be where I am today working full time in a job I love with a future that makes my family proud. I feel like I am teaching my children that no matter how old you are, you have to keep working hard and going after your dreams.鈥

Rochelle said the support of 糖心vlog传媒 faculty and staff helped push her across the finish line and helped her gain confidence. Rochelle鈥檚 story is similar to those of other students at 糖心vlog传媒 who rely on donations to the Emergency Grant Fund.

鈥淚 realize there are people in the community who are making donations and providing support to help students like me succeed,鈥 said Rochelle. 鈥淭hanks to people like them, you truly can get anywhere from here.鈥
