Family oriented student gets the financial support she needs

Thank you for supporting The Association for the Cohesive Development of the Amazon (ADCAM), which provides youth in Manaus, Brazil the chance to reach their utmost potential. Your donation gives a Youth Apprentice like Daniele the supplies they need for one semester in the Youth Apprentice Program. Daniele is grateful for your assistance and provided a message below:

My name is Daniele. I’m 18 years old and working as an administrative assistant in the human resources division of the Amazon Universal Fitness Company. I want to pursue a career in this field. I’ve finished high school and I’ve always been a good student and also participated in extra-curricular activities.

My parents are self-employed. Together they make only twice the minimum wage. My family is struggling to finish construction on a little house but my mother suffers from scoliosis and other spinal problems and the treatment costs are very high. My father needs glasses and those costs are high too. We put health first and the other things, like finishing the house, we take care of as we can.

I plan to go to college to get a degree in business administration. I’m dedicated to my studies because I want to take care of my parents and help them any way I can. I appreciate the scholarship because, at this time, we don’t have the means to pay for my education.

Thank you, Tom, for giving Daniele the chance she deserves.
