How Lissandra's life was changed by United Way

Research tells us that reading at grade level by the end of third grade can predict high school graduation. United Way of Miami-Dade invests in programs across our community to help our children to be successful in school and in life.One of those programs, at Centro Mater, helps children to improve their English language skills, making academic success more attainable.When she arrived at Centro Mater, Lissandra was scared people would laugh at her because she could not speak any English; she was having difficulty with her schoolwork and falling behind in her classes. Since enrolling in Centro Mater, Lissandra has improved her English through literacy activities, receives help with her classwork, and dreams about her future.

I know Lisandra personally and was her teacher at Centro Mater at some point. She is an incredible young lady, who really touches your heart. The United Way funding is essential for helping children like Lisandra.That she is able to go to Centro Mater, such a caring, nurturing and giving place, is a blessing in her life.
