Tell your Story
<p>Here at the YMCA of San Benito County we see inspirational stories of success and opportunity daily; like the 3 Lemus children who thanks to financial assistance can attend our afterschool program and receive the additional homework support that cannot be fully provided at home due to a language barrier. Our support helps them be successful at school and at home.</p> <p>Or stories like Aiden; 5 year old child to a single parent who works hard at her full time job while attending school but has a difficult time affording the ‘extras’, like summer camp and sports for him. Financial assistance scholarships make it possible for Aiden and hundreds of other children, adults and families to be a part of the Y and benefitting from the many programs we offer.</p> <p><br>At the Y, no one is ever turned away because they lack the ability to pay. <strong>We offer financial assistance so everyone has the opportunity to take advantage of the Y’s valuable programs and services</strong>. </p> <ul> <li>$50 gives four children the chance to engage in fitness games and cardio during Fit Kids class</li> <li>$100 gives three families the opportunity to make health and wellness a priority through a family facility membership</li> <li>$250 provides one month of academic support in a safe, nurturing environment for a school aged child</li> <li>$500 gives 15 seniors a safe place to socialize, stay healthy and participate in Enhance Fitness classes</li> <li>$1,200 gives six children the opportunity to create, explore, imagine and engage for a week at summer camp</li> </ul>
