Show Hope Grant!

The second grant we received was from Show Hope! The application is a pretty intense and lengthy process, but made easier by the fact that everything could be done electronically.It took us awhile to fill it out and get it turned in. We ended up getting it done only a day before the deadline. A month or so later we received a letter letting us know they were praying for us. They also offered us educational resources for free, which we of course accepted. The more education the better! We were so impressed at how much Show Hope cared for their applicants. On March 16, we got a small envelope in the mail letting us know we had been chosen for a $5,000.00 grant! That week we had received a few letters from other grants we had applied for that did not have funding for our family. I was feeling very discouraged and had just assumed the letter would be a no.I called E at work and we were both in shock. A huge weight was lifted off our shoulders that day. Thank you Show Hope!
