Making a Difference at your YMCA:
"I have a lot of thanking to do!! I was able to send my daughter to Pre K while I completed my BA degree. Without the generosity of the YMCA 'Reach Out For Youth' program, my family wouldn't be where we are today, especially if I had to pay for the childcare at full price. While in school, I also needed to set up interviews and find a job, so I needed to place my 6 month old in a safe and nurturing childcare program and the YMCA was there for me and my family. I truly hope to make a difference in someone's life the way the YMCA has made a difference in mine." (Molly Cullen)
