🏆 And the Barbara Lee Edwards Scholarship Goes To… Nickole! The Barbara Lee Edwards Scholarship is awarded to a woman who has demonstrated resilience, dedication, and a vision for the future. The scholarship supports her journey toward stable housing and continued education. At each Mission Academy graduation, a female student is honored with a scholarship that rewards her effort in working the program well. The scholarship reflects the compassion of a donor who wanted to uplift lives beyond graduation. 👏 Congratulations to Nickole, this spring’s recipient! She came to Mission Academy with her two beautiful daughters, and we’ve witnessed their incredible growth. We pray God blesses you as you continue walking in His purpose. 💛 Want to help change more lives like Nickole’s?

This month, we honor the courage and love of every mom walking the hard road toward healing and stability. In 2024, an estimated 2,971 women experienced homelessness in San Diego County—many of them mothers doing everything they can to care for their children and build a better future. One of the student moms in our year-long residential program shared: “I want to be a good person for my kids… I want to be a good mom. The Mission helped me get out of a very bad cycle.” To the moms in our care—and to all moms who wipe away tears, give endlessly, and love without limits—you are a reflection of God’s unshakable love. 🌸 Now through May 31, every donation for moms and children in our Emergency Shelter will be DOUBLED. Let’s give these families the hope and support they deserve: https://bit.ly/4cwmdQ1 #MothersDay #DoubleYourImpact (fb)
