Investing in a Lifetime, Not Just an Education

March 31, 2026

I am writing with a heart full of gratitude to thank you for the incredible blessing your organization has been to my family. For many years, my twin daughters, Camryn and Sophie Hendrix, were recipients of your scholarships from kindergarten through 12th grade, all of which were used at Marshall Christian Academy. As a single mother, I can say with complete honesty that I would not have been able to provide them with a private, Christian education without your support.


Because of your generosity, my girls were able to grow not only academically, but spiritually. They were taught in an environment where faith, character, and excellence were valued daily. They built friendships, developed confidence, and were surrounded by teachers who poured into their lives in ways that will impact them forever. You did not just provide financial assistance—you helped shape who they are becoming.


Filling out the final renewal form for their senior year was truly bittersweet. I found myself overwhelmed with emotion, wondering how we had reached this milestone so quickly. It feels like just yesterday they were walking into school as kindergartners, and now they are preparing to step into the next chapter of their lives. Every single year of their education has been touched by your generosity, and that is something I will never take for granted.


Your program has changed my life as well. You gave me peace of mind during seasons that were uncertain, and you gave my daughters opportunities I could not have given them on my own. That is a gift I will carry with me always. I will forever be grateful, and I will always share my story with others, so they understand the true impact of what you do.


Thank you for believing in families like mine. Thank you for investing in my daughters. Thank you for making a difference that will last a lifetime.


With deepest gratitude,

Jennifer Hendrix

There’s a lingering misconception that private or Catholic schools aren’t equipped to serve students with disabilities. In Auburn, Alabama, one Catholic school is quietly proving otherwise. As an AOSF partner school and the only Catholic school within a 50-mile radius, St. Michaels Catholic School is offering families something increasingly rare: strong academics, intentional faith formation, and a learning environment that welcomes students with a range of learning needs, including dyslexia, hearing impairments, and vision challenges.  And they’re not just “making it work.” They’re building a model designed for it.
