This year we met Brian, a welding student, who faced a personal health crisis and
homelessness. Brian spent many years seeking gainful employment and found himself
struggling with financial burdens and lack of resources. To provide stability and
safety, Brian enrolled at LCC to become a welder. “Knowing how essential basic needs
are to student success and scholastic achievement, I am happy to not be homeless any
longer, but it takes so much more than relatively stable housing to maintain a highly
accomplished and productive student. To say that LCC helped keep me going is an enormous
understatement.” Despite the challenges of fibromyalgia and financial hardship, Brian
has persevered, finding stability and support through scholarships and assistance
from LCC. Driven by resilience, Brian envisions a future where his welding skills
contribute to sustainable and impactful projects, leaving a lasting positive mark
on his community. Your gift today helps students like Brian complete their degree
and change their future!
In this season of gratitude, it is students like Brian who inspire us and remind us of the transformational power of education.
During this time of year, I know that you have many choices and worthy causes to support. We hope you will make the Lower Columbia College Foundation a priority in your year-end giving.
