Family and Friends, I am excited to say that all of your donations have gone to great use! We have sponsored a 19 year old mother, Tiffany, and her 12-month old son Tyrell. Tiffany is hard-working single mother who wants to become an elementary teacher and raise money to make a healthy living for her and her son. She was a job working at an Indian restaurant and plans to attend school. She is currently living in an apartment and is trying her hardest to brighten her son's future. We chose Tiffany to sponsor because as she stated in her application "The most importnat factor is my child. If my child weren't here, who knows what or where I would be or doing." This proved that she doesn't want this for herself, but for Tyrell. See wants to begin a new chapter of her life and teach her son to be responsible and caring. Over the last couple of days my father and I have spent $1,000 buying Tiffany and Tyrell many supplies. Along with the basics of food, clothes, and hygiene products we were also able to buy them a toddler bed, which is accompanied by a matress, pillows, sheets, and a comforter. All these items will be delivered to Tiffany so she can begin her new and improved life with Tyrell.
