Stories That Define Us
These books were born out of the desire to make our participants’ stories available to you, our readers, and offer insight into their lives. I believe you will find that we are all much more alike than we realize in what we want for ourselves and the hopes we have for our children and our community. I know that I have learned far more from our participants than they could ever learn from me. They are heroes of mine not because of what they have accomplished, which is very impressive, but because of what they have overcome and because of their resilience and persistence in the face of challenges that seemed insurmountable. They are remarkable not only because they have faced difficulties and had the hope and grit to work through them, but also because they are willing to share their stories in the hope that their experiences will inform and inspire others. To a person, I am proud of them for offering their stories to you.
Please note that the first two editions are available upon request. Kindly reach out to us at [email protected]
Read the Stories That Define Us -Volume Three
Hear from some of our families:
FSH graduate Maria and current participant Dania discuss the impact Family Scholar House has made on their families lives.
Hope, an Elizabethtown Community & Technical College student shares her experience with Family Scholar House.
Luck. For most of us, it’s a good thing. But bad luck, or simply the lack of any luck at all, can make life infinitely harder.
In many ways, Family Scholar House exists to change the luck of the students and families we serve. To turn just enough luck in their favor that, with hard work and determination, they can thrive and succeed, breaking generational cycles of poverty and passing that good fortune on to help their children and grandchildren succeed. To break the spell of bad luck forever.
So this St. Patrick’s Day, we wish you all the luck in the world. And if you’ve been blessed with good fortune, consider sharing it with others who have not, by supporting organizations like Family Scholar House as we work to change our communities, one family at a time.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
