Mother goes back to school to create better life for her children

Dear MSAF, Brian, George, and Christine,

Like many children from struggling, low-income families, Luis was developmentally delayed when he entered the Early Steps to School Success program as a two year old. Luis’s mom, Josie, was very interested in the program and wanted to learn how to better support her son’s development. Since joining the program, Josie has been working very hard with the program coordinator, Sandra, to catch Luis up developmentally. Every time Sandra goes to the home, Josie shares stories and tells her all of the new things Luis is doing. Josie is even back in school and working on getting her degree. She is very happy to be back in school and says that because of Save the Children’s ESSS program, she has learned how important it is to have an education and keep her children involved in learning. She is trying to create a different life for her children and she knows her education is the beginning of it. Thank you all for bringing Josie and Luis hope for the future!
