Being apart of FFG is so amazing, I’ve been introduced to a responsible/life coach. Her name is Erin, not only has Erin been pushing me and keeping me on track but she has also keeps me manage my money and pay offf my debts. This FFG group has been like no ther group I could have ever imagined. The group also provides care packages that helps keep me stocked with my hygiene and feminine products that I need more than anything. These wonderful people I’ve come in contact with have been super sweet. FFG has been super supportive and wonderfully welcoming since Ive been introduced to these amazing group of woman. FFG has impacted Dallas and my life in a tremendous way , they have set up photoshoots for the mothers and their kids which I love because me and Dallas don’t have any pictures professionally done. We get to stay in Charlotte at some nice hotels where they provide dinner sometimes that’s so delicious. This group makes me feel so honored to be apart of such powerful woman. The most impacting thing thing that they have helped with has been blessing me with has been $1,000 towards getting my car. I cried because this car meant so much to me and I have never had anyone hell me get a car and for these woman to be so helping it’s a joy I can never forget. I thank FFG for everything they have done for my daughter and I.

FFG has changed my life tremendously. When I first met these wonderful women, I was without a job, car, and did not know how I’d provide for my unborn daughter. Since I’ve been connected with FFG, I have had connections to great resources and people. I’ve been given the Opportunity to advance my Microsoft certification. I’ve also got a job a job as a Registered Behavior Technician paying 20/hr, and on top of that a new car! All in a year or less. Thanks FFG!!

Thanks so much for all that FFG does for FCS. I know for me personally, this is something that would have helped me a ton during high school and college—and probably would have prevented me from having as much debt going into adulthood. I’m really glad these young people are getting this knowledge now.

Whilst dissecting every shortcoming and micromanaging the emotional and mental onslaught thereof; I fail to recognize anything I deem leadership worthy. There is an old gospel song called “Too Close To The Mirror”. The chorus of it reads: “I guess I’m too close to the mirror to see what you see, why you shower down your blessing, your blessings on me. It’s not anything I’ve done Lord as far as I can see, I guess I’m too close to the mirror to see what you see in me.

I want to thank you from every atom of my being for bearing witness to qualities of which I can seldom testify to myself. You have helped me reignite a zeal and hopefulness in parts of me that have long waned.

I’ve acquired life participating skills from their programs including Career Journey and Financial Wellness. They have good coaches who have daughters and know how to work with girls. Growing up I didn’t experience stable living arrangements, my dream is to own my own home to make sure my daughter doesn’t have to go through my same phase so the Financial Literacy programmed with helping me plan and budget and steps it takes to being a home owner. I currently reside in my own apartment home with my 9 month old daughter and if it wasn’t for the resources and information that Foundation For Girls (FFG) provided I’m not sure how I could’ve done this alone. FFG is an empowering and kind foundation serving girls and changing lives.

I never hesitate to reach back out if I need help or guidance. I know they want to help and there is always someone I can simple text, call or email and they always reach back out. FFG builds relationships.

FFG, has been and continues to be, a huge blessing in my life. The girls that participate in these sessions have become a second family to me. All the FFG coaches have invested the time to learn about me, my story, and my interests so that they could fully assist me and tailor to my needs.

During my stay at a shelter for pregnant teen and foster care aged out girls, I met Foundation For Girls (FFG) a group of people who have had a huge impact on my life. FFG is my family.

I would like to thank you guys again for yesterday. When joining FFG I never imagined that I would gain a second family. But since becoming part of FFG I have realized that you guys would answer my call for help before my Real family would. I did doubt my self about calling you guys yesterday the only thing I could think of was “What are they going to think about me?” I felt like a bad mother because I couldn’t adequately take care of my son. But when I called y’all that fear and doubt went away because when I heard the genuine concern in your voice for Nolyn, my doubts where gone. Nolyn is happier and getting better thanks to you guys.

Thank you FFG for showing up for these marginalized women whether they show up for themselves or not. You have no idea how much of an impact you are having.

I am very appreciative of The FFG team, for presenting me with a chance to create a better life for me and my daughter. They have never hesitated to provide me with financial assistance and guidance when I needed it.

As I told from the beginning the consistency is the key. They have now become programmed to study on Wednesday because subconsciously they know they are supposed to meet up with you. She chose to do her homework on her own and unsupervised.

Again remember you are teaching them to adjust to something different. Studying wasn’t something that was encouraged at home or they haven’t been stable long enough in a home, school, or with a family to truly understand the fact that tests are passed based on both the investment make inside as well as outside of the classroom. The goal is to continue to show them they matter in all environments and their pasts are their catalyst, not their hindrance.

You keep up the good work and remember you are planting seeds which you water every week.
