After Step Onward Foundation
A hardworking student was on the verge of dropping out, forced to choose between tuition and having food on the table.
Students no longer have to choose. They can graduate, not just with a degree, but with dignity and a future full of possibilities.
A single mother with young children used to stare at an eviction notice, wondering where she and her children will sleep next.
Families are given the support they need to keep their homes; so tonight, they can tuck their children into bed with a sense of relief, knowing they are safe.
Parents drowning in medical bills feel helpless as they watch their child fight for their life, unable to afford both rent and life-saving treatment.
Financial relief lifts the crushing weight off their shoulders, allowing them to be fully present for their child’s care and recovery.
A family on the brink of homelessness saw no way out.
With access to housing support, they not only keep a roof over their heads but start rebuilding their future.
