Receiving this scholarship has made me feel thankful and supported. There are many obstacles faced by worker’s compensation families besides financial hardships, and I cannot thank Kids Chance of Florida and FFVA (for their sponsorship) enough for shining a light on the struggles we face. The pain, emotional hardships, and overall changes in quality of life that my dad has dealt with are things I was not expecting from my father’s workers comp injury. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that there is an organization wanting to assist my family and I during these hard times.

I was fortunate enough to attend a great school, Stetson University in my hometown, DeLand, FL. I have always enjoyed and had a passion for science which led me to major in Chemistry and minor in Health Science.  I was honored to be the first student to receive the One Call STEM/Kids’ Chance of Florida Scholarship.  They have been there to support me since day one! Along with the financial support, each November during Kids’ Chance Awareness week they would send care packages full of pens and pencils that I could use every day and even my favorite snack, ramen noodles. Through it all, the support has been there to help me succeed and I could not be more grateful and blessed to be a part of this family.

Kids Chance of Florida has helped me tremendously for three years. Thanks to the organization and their continued support and generosity through their scholarship program, I was given the opportunity to pursue a degree in higher education. I am proud to say that I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Finance from the University of Florida.  I can’t wait to start my career as a financial analyst. A big thank you to Kids’ Chance of Florida.

Kids’ Chance has changed my life by being the community that I needed in my darkest time.  KCFL supported me throughout my education, and then further throughout my career.

Olivia is also proud of her new position as a Kids’ Chance Ambassador. “Kids’ Chance has changed my life. My goal as an Ambassador is to give back and get the word out there, whether that’s to students who are in need or donors and sponsors that would like to get involved.”

I finally walked down the stage and graduated with my Bachelor’s in Applied Science! Both my parents and I were extremely happy and I could not believe the day finally came that I could say I am a college graduate. 

Thank you Kids’ Chance of Florida for believing in me and helping me every step of this journey! I recently started a small business of vegan cakes called Cake Craze.

Thank you again, Kids’ Chance is my family and I can’t wait to one day help other students like myself!!!
