Your Gift Makes a Difference

Corinna and her husband have two children and are expecting their third.  Several years ago Corinna started taking classes to obtain a degree as a substance abuse counselor.  With only her husband’s income, tuition costs and child care for her two children were a struggle.  Fortunately, she learned about Good Start Grants funded through United Way and found she was eligible for assistance.

Corinna attended the Parent Power Hour series sponsored by the Early Years Coalition and Partnership for Youth.  She found the presentations and referrals to other resources very helpful and learned practical parenting tips from others.  

Corinna will soon complete her studies and is looking forward to the birth of their third child.  The help she received from United Way programs helped her finish her degree and move forward with plans to help others in our community who are struggling with addiction.
