As graduation season approaches, thousands of high school seniors are donning their caps and gowns, celebrating college acceptance letters and dreaming of the future. But for too many children of injured or killed workers, this season brings something very different: grief, anxiety and an uncertain path forward.
Kids’ Chance National Student Ambassador Anna remembers that feeling vividly.
As her classmates threw their graduation caps in the air and shared their college plans, Anna sat with her mother at her kitchen table, tears streaming down her face. Following her father’s catastrophic injury on the job, her dreams of attending college felt impossible.
But then something incredible happened.
A Kids’ Chance scholarship changed everything.
With the help of generous donors like you, Anna went on to earn her college degree – and just recently, she received her master’s degree in public administration from the University of Pittsburgh. What once felt hopeless has now blossomed into a future full of promise.
At Kids’ Chance of America, we believe that every child deserves a chance at higher education – especially those whose lives have been forever altered by a parent’s serious or fatal workplace injury. But we can’t do this without you.
This graduation season, will you give the gift of hope?
Your donation to Kids’ Chance of America helps power our 50-state network, enabling us to provide scholarships, guidance and life-changing support to students like Anna – young people with big dreams, string determination, and resilience to overcome immense challenges.
Please consider making a gift today. Together, we can ensure that when next year’s graduation season arrives, more kids will be celebrating their future – not mourning what they’ve lost.
Thank you for believing in second chances and brighter tomorrows.
