I have recently received a scholarship from Kids Chance. Because of this, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you as you are the reason I am now able to attend Columbia. Without your genuine thoughtfulness, my parents would have never known about this organization. I am forever grateful for the impact you have made on my life and the impact you are continuing to make on my parents' life through common ground alliance.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your generosity for rewarding me with the Kids’ Chance Scholarship grant. I am so grateful that Kids’ Chance rewarded me with this scholarship because without it, paying for college would have been an extreme burden on my family. Attending this college will give me the opportunity to continue her (Mom’s) legacy in the classroom: one of kindness, compassion, and strength. Thank you so much again for your time and generosity, it will never be underappreciated.
