Learning is really tough when nothing makes sense.
Miguel knows.
Miguel was falling behind in his reading skills and was at risk of having to repeat a grade. Unfortunately, he didn’t have books at home so he could practice his reading. Rappahannock United Way volunteers intervened and were able to help him with his reading at school. RUW also made sure he had grade-level books to take home to read with his parents over the summer. Now, Miguel loves reading, and he’s catching up with his peers.

Maranda knows.
Maranda was advancing in her career, but finding and keeping affordable childcare started to distract her at work. After losing several babysitters in a short period of time, she started to call out from work. When she sought financial counseling from Rappahannock United Way, we were able to help her find licensed, affordable childcare. Maranda can now focus on work, knowing her child is safe.

Colin and Amanda know.
After working all of his adult life, Colin found himself unemployed.
He struggled to find a new job. Even though he and his wife, Amanda, had both been employed for years, they had little savings. Rappahannock United Way’s financial coach was able to direct Colin to advancedcertification training in his industry, which helped Colin land a new and better-paying job.
