Her goals were to continue her education, get a job, and manage her finances better so that she could move out on her own. Liliana really dedicated herself to the Reason to Give program, and by the end, she had formed close relationships with the other classmates and utilized the help of RTG staff and the professionals in her new network. Liliana has already reenrolled in Reason to Give’s fall term and plans to continue to work towards her ultimate dream of opening her own daycare facility
