Big Hearts, Bright Futures

Agenda and speakers for the October 7 luncheon.

Veronda Durden

Welcome!

Today we come together to share and celebrate our clients’ success, which are our successes. It’s a day when we recognize the big hearts who have a transformational impact on our work, as well as our clients and the bright futures ahead of them.

For many families, life brings uncertainty. We continue to provide foundational support to families—utility and housing assistance, transportation, food, medical equipment—so they can focus on what children need to thrive.

As our supporters, you play a critical role in allowing us to deliver on this promise. We are forever grateful for your big hearts and open arms.

Thank you for being here,
Veronda L. Durden

Fatima, Parenting Class Participant

Fatima’s family moved to the United States when she was an infant. They struggled when she was growing up. Fatima experienced homelessness and got pregnant at 20 years old. At 21 she gave birth to a little girl. Fatima vowed to give her daughter a better future after taking Any Baby Can's parenting classes. Now Fatima is an entrepreneur and gives back to her community.
