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.

Hope, an Elizabethtown Community & Technical College student shares her experience with Family Scholar House.
Looking for a way to get into the holiday spirit this season? We’re recruiting organizations, families, and individuals to adopt family scholar house families for the holidays. To participate in this wonderful holiday initiative, just let us know what size family you prefer to “adopt” and any special requests you may have. Wishlists are currently being emailed, and include family’s wants, needs, and sizing for clothes.
Gifts can be delivered at Louisville Scholar House until December 21. A link will be sent after thanksgiving with delivery times. Thank you in advance for making the holidays special for our families. For questions or to adopt a family contact Deja Jackson at djackson@familyscholarhouse.org.
