When Mesa West agrees to be the sponsoring club for a vocational education grant from TRVFA, the grant recipient is added to our list of Messenger subscribers. Last week, when we asked for happy thoughts, Jennifer Morrill's Grant was to attend the LPN program at the East Valley Institute of Technology, beginning in May, 2019.When we asked for happy thoughts, this is how she responded:
"My happy thought is witnessing our state of Arizona pulling together as a team! I drive a lot for my home health care job. I am all over the valley. On one spot in particular, is a message the Scottsdale ballpark continues to display every day since the Coronavirus outbreak. It reads 'Bee happy,'“ with a cute flower and bee picture. Another message follows with 'Smile' and hearts following after it !!
"PS - My income has improved $7 an hour with my education. I moved my kids and I into our own home. I pay rent myself, supply food, daily needs and then some!! I can now pay for my daughter to ride in horse shows!! Thank you Rotary club , because of you, I pay it forward every day! I look forward to helping someone with their education. (once my kids are grown and out of the house) Until then, I focus on what I can do -take the neighbors garbage out, tip a waitress a little more .. etc..."
When we sponsor a TRVFA grant, the club has no financial responsibility, but we hope our members will support TRVFA with their donations so there are plenty of funds to create many more stories like Jennifer's. CLICK HERE to donate on-line.
