Financial Sponsorship - 2024 Testimonials
We asked our Class of 2024 what the most impactful part of their journey with A Bridge for Kids was. Here’s what they said…
Financial sponsorships have been at the heart of our mission, providing essential support to students who might otherwise be unable to pursue their academic and personal goals. This year, our financial sponsorships have made a tremendous impact, helping students overcome financial barriers and achieve their dreams.
One student shared the profound difference this support has made in their life, saying, "The most helpful part of my A Bridge for Kids Sponsorship was the relief of financial hardship. I was able to order new uniform clothes through my sponsorship, which made it easier to focus on my academics. I was also able to attend the health and wellness events which gave me the opportunity to have new experiences and meet new people."
The financial assistance provided through our sponsorships has enabled students to purchase essential supplies and technology. One student remarked, "The most helpful aspect of my A Bridge for Kids scholarship was utilizing my first-year fund to purchase my laptop. Having this laptop has been a great help while applying for university and scholarships and staying on top of my school work."
Moreover, our sponsorships have allowed students to pursue their passions and interests. As one student reflected, "The scholarship money really helped me get school supplies and additional supplies to support my passions in both music and artistic endeavors."
The impact of financial support extends beyond academics, fostering personal growth and development. One student shared, "I am filled with nothing but gratitude for my A Bridge for Kids Sponsorship because the sponsorship I received has allowed me to buy school supplies, sports equipment, books, and a computer when I wasn’t able to."
One student highlighted the impact of these opportunities, saying, "With the funds I was able to actively participate in two different school sports, without having to worry about not having equipment." This support has allowed students to pursue their passions and excel in their chosen fields.
Additionally, the support provided by our sponsors has helped students build lasting relationships and networks. As another student noted, "The most helpful part of my A Bridge for Kids sponsorship is having a sponsor. My sponsor is amazing and encouraging. We talk regularly, and updating each other on what we do is really nice. It would also be having money to spend on a computer and other stuff for school."
Our financial sponsorships have been a huge help for our students, providing the essential support they need to overcome financial barriers and achieve their academic and personal goals. We are incredibly proud of our students and the impact we have made in the last academic calendar. We are committed to continuing to support our students in their journeys.
