“The Boys & Girls Club's childcare scholarship helps our family a lot. I've just recently become a single mother to two young boys. With my income alone, it is very hard to pay for rent, daycare, medical, etc. for the family. Without daycare, I would lose my job because I have no one to help me. We really appreciate all the help we get. Thank you.”
These words from a mom whose children are in the Club's scholarship program show what a big difference you are making to families by supporting this project. Their family is going through a hard time. Parents divorcing and financial struggles are really hard on both kids and parents, but with your help, the Club can offer kids stability when they need it most and give hard-working parents peace of mind and the ability to work and provide for their kids.
And, kids get to experience so many great things when they are at the Club! They get help with their homework, participate in hands-on STEM activities that make learning fun, learn how to cook in the teaching kitchen, explore their creativity in the art room, play sports and learn to be part of a team in our gymnasium, participate in performing arts programs like dance and theatre, and so much more. They build friendships, spend time with caring adults, build their confidence, and learn that they can make a difference in their community, just like you are by supporting this program.
Thank you for giving these opportunities to the children and families who need them most!
