HELENA: S295-GBO

Helena has been promoted to the fifth grade this year, and we are incredibly proud of her hard work and achievement. She continues to show dedication to her studies and shared that reading is her favorite subject. She enjoys diving into stories and improving her understanding of new words and ideas. Over the past year, Helena experienced a change in her living situation and was sent to live with another family. Unfortunately, the conditions there were not good. She has now returned to live with her mother, where she feels more secure and supported. Being back with her mom has brought renewed stability and encouragement as she continues her education. Helena remains focused on her future and continues to work toward her dream of becoming a doctor one day. Her perseverance through challenges and her commitment to learning make us very proud.

Helena has been promoted to third grade! We are incredibly proud of her achievements this past school year and are delighted to support her dream of becoming a doctor. A special thank you to Kristen O’Donnell for sponsoring Helena’s education. She continues to live with her mother.

Helena was sick most of the school year and was unable to be promoted to third grade.  Though she remains in second grade at 14 years of age, she is determined to pass this school year. Helena still wants to be a doctor when she grows up and is still living with her mother.  GPA is happy to walk alongside Helena in her quest to be the first to graduate from high school in her family.
