WOW.

I didn't know when we opened up nominations for the scholarship what were getting into....

I think it's easy to forget that everyone around us has a story.... and some have lived through trials that we may never come close to facing. Some are walking miracles and we never know of it....

It was unbelievably difficult picking these FIVE amongst dozens and dozens of deserving stories.... it's going to be even more difficult knowing what is right to do between these five. I'm glad I have people to make that decision for me!!


With all that said, I think it's a huge testament that this community is available (we are all here) to help each other out.... thank you for that. And thank you to everyone who wrote in for the reminder!

*** HERE ARE THE FIVE STORIES *** if you haven't read/watched them already...

Great stories, all of them! Good luck deciding!

SO generous, Liana!

a tough decision for sure.

wow! simply amazing. I know that whom ever you choose will be forever blessed!

WOW! Tough choice. I know which one I would pick though.

I am so excited and I feel so blessed! Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Congrats ladies! I'm so excited to spend my gift certificate.
