“Future Sacramento equipped me with all of the tools necessary to be successful in my journey through college. Through this organization I have received not only financial support but mentors that have and will continue nurturing me and guiding me on the road to success. I don’t think I would be where I am without all of the abundant support around me, I would have lost my way. I feel blessed today because I am here, I am strong, I am grateful, and I will succeed because I know that I will be supported wherever I go. Thank You.” – Mariah
