CONTINUING THE
CYCLE OF CARING

Early childhood educators devote their lives to nurturing the hearts and minds of our children, often while shouldering significant emotional and financial challenges of their own. That’s why BOOST was created: To provide critical support, resources and stability to early childhood teachers in times of financial crisis — empowering them to nurture and inspire the next generation with confidence and care. Together, we can make a difference. Will you join us?

BOOST IN ACTION

  • “For the past six months my family has faced homelessness. Thanks to BOOST's financial assistance, I am now able to stabilize my family. Without this opportunity our stability of housing would be uncertain. Thank you all, to everyone at BOOST."

    Michelle M.

  • “As I prepared for a knee replacement, I learned that I needed dental work completed before I could be cleared. Unsure of how to manage this, I was fortunate that my director nominated me, and within a week, I received a check to cover the entire cost. This unexpected assistance lifted a tremendous weight off my shoulders, allowing me to focus on my health and recovery without the burden of financial stress.”

    Tammy J.

  • “I was blessed and honored to have received assistance from BOOST to help me with my situation. I almost lost my husband last year due to multiple unknown medical complications which left us with a huge financial burden. BOOST has help us out in which I am truly grateful. Thank you BOOST for your contribution.”

  • “When I got sick, I had a lot of money expenses. The teachers received information from BOOST fund aid . I contacted my regional director, we made the application and I was approved. I am very grateful to BOOST for the help I received just when I needed it most.”

  • “BOOST helped me so much!  I was behind on medical bills with my recent diagnosis and was able to get caught up because of the program. I really appreciate them!”

    Tenisha T.

  • "After the army, I never thought [ECE] would be my calling. I recently had dental work from an injury in Afghanistan and was in severe pain. Every day I was reminded of one of the worst days of my life. I was overwhelmed at the financial burden, as well as the PTSD it triggered. My boss noticed and set me up with BOOST and they covered all my dental expenses. Today is the first day I have had no pain or discomfort and can focus on the future instead of dwelling on the past. I can not thank the BOOST team enough."
