In September 2009, Reason to Give delivered Cynthia and her family their first success story. Thanks to our generous donors, Lawrence was able to enter sixth grade with all new supplies! Shanta will be able to go back to college to study to become a veterinary technician with all her new supplies as well. Even Cynthia, who asked for very little for herself, received a much needed toaster and can opener.

In December of 2009, Cynthia received winter coats for the whole family and a $250 holiday gift card which will help out during the difficult winter.
