Comfort: S729-SOP

Comfort was promoted to the second grade this year, and though she’s a reserved and quiet student, she continues to shine in her own way. She told us that writing is her favorite subject, and her teacher speaks highly of her dedication and hard work. Despite her shyness, Comfort is always on time for school and takes great care in being neatly dressed, which shows her sense of responsibility and pride in her appearance. Comfort has been dealing with an eye infection that hasn’t gone away, but she’s managing it with resilience. Her teachers are impressed by her ability to focus on her studies and continue performing well despite the challenges she faces. Comfort’s hardworking attitude and quiet determination make her a special student, and we’re so proud of how she’s handling everything with grace. She is truly a model of perseverance.

Comfort is promoted to first grade and still wants to be a seamstress one day.  She continues to live with her mother. Sponsored by: Laura Stoller

Ten-year-old Comfort’s mother is a widow. Comfort’s father died when she was five years old and left behind six children.  Her mother was buckling under the pressure of acquiring resources to send her children to school.  It’s moms like Comfort’s that GPA seek out to encourage and support.  What her mother lacks in financial resources she more than makes up by hustling petty job opportunities to gain income for her family.  Comfort is in kindergarten class, and she wants to be a seamstress when she grows up.  Sponsored by: Laura Stoller
