Fort Collins - When Tom suddenly became a single father of three, he needed help accessing safe and quality care for his children. With funding from United Way, Teaching Tree was able to provide discounted childare for his youngest son, Miles, while his other children received before- and after-school care through B.A.S.E. Camp. Tom excelled in his career knowing his children were receiving the support they needed, and their family of four is now thriving.

Estes Park - Stephane grew up in poverty. Even though she was at the top of her class, she dropped out of school in 10th grade and was homeless off and on for 12 years. When she became pregnant, Stephane was connected to United Way's WomenGive program. With the support of this resource and others, she and her son, Finn, now have a home of their own. Stephane completed her degree in molecular biology and is on track to become a physician's assistant.

Loveland - After escaping an abusive marriage, Julie lost her job and found herself on the verge of homelessness. She turned to United Way's 2-1-1 to get connected with the help she needed to become self-sufficient again. As a result, she is now happily employed. Through her company's corporate volunteer program, and on her own time, Julie pays forward the help she received by volunteering with a number of different organizations through United Way.
