Dream Big | We look forward to celebrating graduation for several of our renewal applicants! Over the last year we saw applications from Texas, Florida, and other states across the US. For the first time since this program’s inception in 2018 we have had to turn away applicants due to funding restrictions. Will you join us and send more survivors through school in 2024?
