CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Suporting Dreamers!
We support promising students by offering assistance with room, board, school supplies, and basic living expenses, as well as providing the guidance they need to succeed in their education.
A 17-year-old from Guatemala traveled alone to Los Angeles, relying on a family member's promise that fell through, leaving her facing food and housing insecurity. With financial aid from Following Francis, she graduated high school with honors and won a tuition scholarship to a local university. Through your kind donations, we help with her with room, board, and living expenses. She graduated with honors and can now persue her dreams.
