Real Impact: What Participants Are Saying

For a nursing student providing care in the hospital, we are responsible for patient education. This experience gave me a great list of services to share with people in the community.

I now understand how to spread awareness about the realities of poverty and how pre-determined assumptions can impact those experiencing it.

This experience showed me that many challenges faced by those in poverty have simple, practical solutions. I now feel equipped to offer real help.

I walked away with a much deeper understanding of the resources available to low-income families and individuals. I plan to share this knowledge in my work.

I will take what I learned and share it with students at Western Dakota Tech, ensuring they know about WDT Foundation scholarships that can help cover their basic needs.
