Grant makers invest in outcomes. Here is what outcomes look like in the lives of the women Wings of Love Lifted serves.
Ms. Butler didn't just see me as another person in the program — she saw me as someone who mattered, someone who deserved support, guidance, and encouragement. When I had no way to get to my orientation, she personally took me. She helped me run errands. She never made me feel like a burden. Because of her, I've been able to push forward with more confidence and hope. She has helped me in tremendous ways, and I will always be grateful for her kindness, her time, and her unwavering support.

April was an amazing resource when I was a Family School Facilitator. I have worked with many foster care students and parents — there is a tremendous need for the services April provides to bridge the gap from leaving care to self-sufficiency. April has the vision, skills, and caring heart to work with them.
