For Claire, Pathways Opens the Way to Stability, Friendship, and Hope
When Claire and her caregiver moved to Tulsa from out of state, they faced challenges no one should have to endure. With no home and few resources, they weren’t sure where to turn. Thankfully, a local organization stepped in to help, providing shelter and, just as importantly, introducing them to Pathways.
Through the support of the John Hamby Scholarship Fund, Claire is now able to attend Pathways. Here, she discovered more than education; she found a safe and welcoming place to spend her days, surrounded by peers and friends who truly care about her. At Pathways, Claire doesn’t have to worry – she is free to learn, laugh, and belong. What once could have been a life marked by danger and uncertainty is now filled with learning, belonging, and the promise of a brighter future.
To keep supporting students like Claire in 2026, we need to raise $100,000 by the end of 2025.
