Kicking off 2017 with a Monthly Blog “Client Connections”
Starboard Society will be sharing a client’s progress (with their permission) on how the foundation impacted the applicant and their family. Not all journeys are the same. Sharing our client’s journey, growth, changes and how our foundation helped navigate a turbulent or worrisome time is personal and we do not take that lightly. We believe everyone’s story is valuable. Sharing that we are not perfect and together we rise to become better human beings will continue to create more positive outcomes for our community. Meet Christina Falls: Starboard received this message after the new year as she reflected on a challenging time as a women, mother and grandmother. Uncertainty is one of the most paralyzing feelings. Christina writes: “As I start 2017, I wanted to take a moment and say thank you for the amazing help I received from your organization this past year. I found myself in a situation where I had to take custody of my grandson for a short time and it was very unexpected. I was not prepared financially to have him full-time and without your help I’m not sure we would have made it. My car was on its last leg and I was forced to drive almost two hours each way, morning and evening, to get him to a daycare I couldn’t afford. I fell behind on my rent and was not sure where the money was going to come from. Helping me with my rent, phone and BGE payments was just the boost I needed to get through this rough spot. I was able to concentrate on my precious grandson and his well being. I had peace of mind that I didn’t have to worry about not having a roof over our heads. I want you all to know how grateful we are for your assistance. I feel truly blessed. You all are angels and pour your heart and soul into this organization and our community is so lucky to have you.” From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, Christina FallsTo learn more about other families we have assisted please click here
