“The counselors that I had through the Education Fund helped me to get through this – they’re like a second family for me. They showed me that they care about me, encouraged me & provided me with great motivation.”
In our ongoing series highlighting the impact of the Education Fund, we’re excited to share Letonia Watson’s story from 2010. Using her Ed Fund benefits, Letonia enrolled in a medical assistant program, completed her studies, and passed the national certification exam. Her hard work paid off when she began working at Kaiser Permanente Euclid in early 2011. Letonia shared how the program helped her grow both professionally and personally: “Getting a higher wage has helped me catch up on my bills and provide better for myself and my children.” Her story is a testament to the impact education can have on both careers and personal lives.
