Sometimes, a Little Help Changes Everything

Libby is a single mom raising two young boys while working toward a college education and a better future for her family.

When her financial aid was delayed, she could not afford two things she needed to stay in school: textbooks and a parking pass.

Without help, Libby faced taking out a personal loan just to keep going.

The Palomar College Foundation stepped in when she needed it most.

Through donor support, the Foundation helps students overcome unexpected financial barriers that can put their education at risk. For Libby, that meant getting the textbooks she needed and continuing to show up for class.

It meant staying in school, continuing toward her goals, and showing her boys what is possible.

“My boys are my everything, and one day I want them to know their mom worked hard, stayed in school, and proved she could do anything.”

You Can Help the Next Student Keep Going

A textbook. A parking pass. An unexpected expense.

Your gift to the Palomar College Foundation could be the reason a student stays in school instead of giving up on their education.

One less barrier. One more chance to succeed.
