Dear Mrs. Sally Posey:
The Lee and Sally Souders Posey Endowed Scholarship greatly impacted my life. The scholarship allowed me to work with children both in orphanages and on the streets throughout Ukraine. This experience also has opened my mind to a culture that is fascinating and unforgettable.
I became particularly fond of one child, Christina. She was in the sad situation of her dad being in prison so she will never get the chance to be adopted. But being a mentor to her, we were able to give her clothes, toys, hope and love.
This scholarship is the reason that Alma impacts countless lives across the world. You haven’t just changed my life, but the lives of countless people globally.
