Lily didn’t think she’d make it through high school.
“I was raised by my single mum in a home filled with love, but also hardship,” she says. “We had a lot to cope with. Money was tight. I wasn't enjoying school and I probably would have dropped out.”
But when she was 12 The Smith Family came into Lily’s life.
Sponsorship changed everything. "I realised there were these kind strangers helping me”.
“My sponsors kept me motivated, even when things were really tough.” Through sponsorship, Lily received school essentials and dedicated learning support.
Lily’s hard work paid off. After school, and with support from her sponsors, she studied journalism at university. Today, she works in Public Relations. “I’m living my dream, and it’s made my mum so proud!”
