Michael Feels Wanted Because of You

Michael lives with his aunt, who helps him manage his finances and navigate daily life. Even with that support, Michael experiences life on his own terms, learning, growing, and experiencing life. And there’s one place that makes him feel truly at home: Pathways.

“I’d rather be at Pathways than anywhere else in the world,” he says.

At Pathways, Michael volunteers at the Food Bank, enjoys the math club, and spends time with people who make him feel seen, valued, and included. “I feel wanted. I feel like I am making good friends who have been here a long time,” he shares.

A scholarship made it possible for Michael to attend Pathways, giving him the chance to build friendships, gain independence, and feel the joy of being part of the community that celebrates him. For Michael and his aunt, it means peace of mind knowing he has a safe, supportive place to learn and grow.

This year, more students than ever are attending Pathways, which means the need for scholarships has never been greater.

Your gift opens the way for Michael – and others like him – to keep learning, growing, and belonging in a place where they are loved and valued. Give now by following this link.
