We are starting our day off with a heart full of gratitude 🤍 A few weeks ago, we learned that we had been awarded a grant of $11,625 from the Skillman Foundation President’s Youth Council ! It came as a complete surprise to us! This is the second year in a row that the President’s Youth Council has selected Bringing Hope Back Home to receive a grant through their grant making initiative that focuses on organizations that are making a difference in the lives of Detroit youth.

Detroit youth made this happen! A special shout out to .iia for always advocating for BHBH!

Be on the lookout over the next year to see how we plan to use this grant!

2022 Hope Scholar - William Harper

William is a recent graduate from Renaissance High School. Earlier this summer, he began his college journey in The University of Michigan’s Bridge Summer Scholars Program. During high school, he was a remarkable student inside and outside the classroom. He was a member of various E-Sports team, Cranbrook’s Upward Bound, and Connect Me Tutoring as a volunteer tutor to students in grades K-8th grade.

We were very impressed by William’s response to one of our essay questions regarding program implementation in his community! His response was, “I've noticed that a lot of kids my age struggle with their emotional intelligence. They might not think they have anger issues or depression, for example, but I definitely can tell based off of my interactions with them. This could stem from a multitude of things, but some will never know how to solve their issues in a healthy way. If I could develop and implement a program for my community, it would be accessible, free therapy.”

We are so proud and excited to keep up with William and his journey as he continues college this fall!

Congratulations, William!

2022 Hope Scholar - Kasandra Negrete

Kasandra is a recent graduate from Cass Technical High School. This fall, she will be headed to The University of Michigan! During high school, she was an active student and well accomplished! She was a member of and held leadership positions in her high school’s swim team, Latino Culture Club, Student Council, National Honor Society, just to name a few!

When she is not in school, Kasandra is out serving her community! Throughout high school, she was involved in MIStudentsDream which is an organization that develops school campaigns for DREAMers and advocates for education/immigration justice by videos and lobbying! Kasandra plans to stay involved even after high school. She was recently selected to be 1 of 100 scholars chosen on a national level to be recognized by for her community involvement and leadership.

We are so proud and excited to keep up with Kasandra and her journey as she begins college this fall!

Congratulations, Kasandra!
