A Young Family Strives for Education and Independence
When 19-year-old Gary talks about the rocky journey of his young life, he describes it as “going from being a knucklehead to trying to be a grown man.” Gary and Lanessa each express enormous gratitude for the services they have been able to access through Parent Pathways, and acknowledge that life for young teens raising a baby is full of unexpected struggles.
Together we can create a better future for thousands right here in metro Denver.
With your help we can give individuals access to programs that can strengthen their lives and, in turn, strengthen metro Denver. When we succeed, your co-worker who is a single mom can find quality, early childhood care for her son. The teenager sitting next to you on the light rail can meet with her mentor once a week. And the parents who are working so hard to provide for their families can build assets and receive the training to achieve a self sufficient lifestyle. When we succeed, individuals thrive and our entire community prospers. You can create a better future for more people than you might imagine by supporting Mile High United Way’s three life-changing initiatives: School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self Sufficiency.
