Amy B.'s Story
Total Assistance: $16,000.00
Amy has worked to overcome hardships all her life, from being born sightless to the emotionally abusive living situation that led her to leave home in her Junior year of high school. But Amy continued to persevere through it all, and was accepted into the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) for the fall 2017 school year. After her financial aid was applied, the Foundation was able to cover her remaining expenses.
In August Amy was ready to begin her second year of school but lost state financial aid. Left responsible for full tuition and housing, your generosity is enabled Amy to continue school this past fall.
