EOU Student Testimonies

“The program has truly been a lifeline for me. It has helped me save a significant amount of money that I would have otherwise spent on food and books. As a first-generation college student from a low-income background, I deeply appreciate the support that has been extended to students like myself. The financial burden of college is heavy, and this assistance means so much to us. Thank you for making a difference in our lives.”

“I am doing student teaching at Imbler Elementary School for the rest of the school year. I did not know I would be driving so far each day and did not account for the gas money I would need in my finances. The gas gift card helped me fill my tank of gas so that I can make it out to student teach everyday.”

“Providing for SNAP on the government website was very difficult. They told me I needed to “prove my identity” to continue my application. To do this I had to call two numbers one would not answer the phone and the other told me that my identity was fake. Desperate, I contacted the Benefits Navigator to get assistance and it was extremely helpful. After she gave me tips with how to enroll, I was able to go to the DHS office, step up a case, and have an appointment all in the span of a few days. I am extremely grateful for all the assistance I have received.”
