I am a single mother with a three year old daughter. I know that I am not the first to have an unplanned difficult pregnancy and be aban-doned by the father during child-birth, nor will I be the last one.
Therefore, when I obtain my goals, my testament will touch others and give hope to many who find them-selves in almost impossible situa-tions. I believe if I can touch one person, my challenges would not have been in vain.

As a child of a single parent, funds for college
were very tight. Thankfully, the Sherman
Hargroves Educational Support Fund, now
We’re HERE To HELP, selected me for a 4-year
book scholarship which relieved a great deal of
stress from me and my family. On top of the
financial support, I received genuine care and
otherother support from the organization's board
members. I was even asked to join the board as
a student member. This was a wonderful
educational experience that assisted me in
starting my own non-profit organization to help
youth in my community. I am truly thankful to
SHESF for everything that they provided me
withwith - financial support, encouragement, and
knowledge.
