Lori

WHAT YOUR DOLLAR SUPPORTS

Lori, a mother of two young children, faced an incredibly challenging journey after her breast cancer diagnosis three years ago. As the cancer spread to her bones, the emotional and financial strain on her family intensified. With two kids under the age of 10 relying on her care, the burden was overwhelming. Thanks to critical needs assistance, Lori’s transportation expenses to and from medical appointments were covered, and her family had groceries for the month. This support provided much-needed relief during a difficult time.

Abimbola

WHAT YOUR DOLLAR SUPPORTS

Abimbola enrolled in community college as a path to a brighter future. But he needed a full-time job to support himself, some math tutoring, and a network of friends to thrive. He found UPLIFT - a program supported by United Way - which offered him academic, social, and financial supports. Today, he has a banking job, an Associate degree, and is bound for UConn to study Finance. He is giving back by mentoring other youth facing challenges.

WHAT YOUR DOLLAR SUPPORTS

Shaniel, a recent ALICE Fund recipient, used the support to cover a few outstanding bills and purchase additional food to make it through June into July. In 2023, Shaniel was unhoused with a newborn and only had bus fare to her name. Today, thanks to support from our local partners, she’s thriving—working full time, maintaining her home, and providing for her daughter, Ramona.

Caroline

WHAT YOUR DOLLAR SUPPORTS

Caroline needed care for her child so she could continue to work, support her family, and advance professionally. However, she was distressed by the high cost of quality care. She found United Way’s Cora’s Kids initiative. Cora’s Kids is a network of providers who receive licensing support, professional development, and start-up supplies. In return, providers charge reasonable rates to working families. There she met Fanny, a trained, licensed, trusted provider who offered more than just affordable care,she provided quality learning activities to promote her daughter’s on-track development.
