The commonalities among them are their tenacious spirit, desire to improve their families’ standards of living, a willingness to persevere, and a commitment to succeed.
Renee impressed me since the first time we met. During our conversation at ISS, I knew Renee had all her sights on becoming nurse. She had 1 goal in mind and that was to become a nurse. Renee is a perfect example of resilience and determination.
- Mimi DuranProject ARRIBA is a great opportunity for individuals like me that need to finish the nursing program. I feel that I will have someone by my side making sure that I do not fail in my attempt of becoming a nurse.
The moment I met David I knew he had his educational goals all planned out to finish nursing school. Thank you for allowing me to help you throughout this journey. It has been a great privilege to know you and to think about all you’ve achieved. Congratulations on your well-deserved success.
- Vikki ReyI would have never imagined myself graduating from college, and being a Nurse, but a special thanks to Vikki Rey and Project ARRIBA because without them, I would not have embarked on this journey. I was introduced to Project ARRIBA at a time when I was not financially able to afford going to school, and financial aid would not cover either. Thank you to Project ARRIBA, and Vikki for being my saving grace, and to all the staff for being extremely helpful.

- Vikki ReyI am truly grateful to Project ARRIBA for all the support I received during my participation. I am now self-sufficient and have a great job, and I plan to continue with my education. None of this could have been possible without all support from funders that believed in me. Thank you!
