Stories of Impact
In 2024, my husband and I became foster parents to four of our grandchildren. I feel strongly that children should attend pre-k, but paying for three children is quite costly. When given the opportunity, I jumped at the chance to apply for the EITC Pre-k Scholarship program. I am so happy that one of our grandsons was a recipient! Thanks to Trying Together and their sponsors for making this happen!
