2016 Scholarship Recipients

Hello Partners. June 9th was a big day for Love My Kids! That evening, at Los Amigos High School, the fruits of a year’s worth of labor was realized as we announced that $48,000 in scholarship money had been awarded to 10 very worthy, hard-working seniors! The scholarship awards ranged in dollar amounts from $1,000 to $20,000. We had dozens of students who applied for a scholarship and all were deserving and all had a significant financial need, but through prayerful discernment we were able to come to agreement on those we will support financially in the 2016-2017 school year. We will continue to support the others with our prayers. We are all amazed that in 2015, our 1st full year of existence, we were able to raise such a significant amount of money! The scholarship money is important and very much appreciated, But Love My Kids is about more than awarding scholarship money. It was stressed to all the graduating seniors that our efforts are fueled by a passionate belief that they all have the potential to be successful and make a huge difference in this world. Quite simply, we know that God has given them all the ability and gifts to be successful and we believe that through hard work and perseverance they can be successful. Tracy Otte, our inspiration, had a passion for the students she taught and she was perhaps their biggest cheerleader and the loudest voice of encouragement. We are striving to do our best to be that voice that tells these students, “We believe in you!”. We don’t do this on our own, though. Thanks in large part to the generosity of the many that supported us in 2015 through the prayers and financial support we made a huge difference in the lives of 10 graduating seniors! We pray for your continued support and hope that next year is even better! Thanks be to God!
