Thanks to a $7,500 matching gift from Pat Whitacre of SI/Poway, CA (Desert Coast Region), every dollar you give by December 31, up to $7,500, will be doubled, helping more women and girls achieve their dreams through education.

“For a moment, I felt seen not just for my struggles, but for my perseverance.”

Chioma’s Journey: Turning Grief into Purpose

Two years ago, Live Your Dream Awards® recipient Chioma packed up her life and moved to Canada with her three children after unexpectedly losing her husband to cancer. His death left her suddenly widowed and solely responsible for her family's future. Chioma had to navigate financial hardship, isolation and grief, all while keeping her family stable. But she held onto the belief that education “is a path to healing, stability and making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.” 

“Learning that I was receiving the Soroptimist Live Your Dream Award was overwhelming in the most beautiful way. For a moment, I felt seen not just for my struggles, but for my perseverance. After everything I have been through, it felt like a reminder that my efforts matter and that I am not alone on this journey.”

Chioma is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in nursing and plans to become a nurse practitioner. Her choice to study nursing is deeply personal. Her husband's illness showed her firsthand how much compassion can mean to a patient and their family during their most vulnerable moments.  

“I felt deep gratitude, relief and hope. Relief, because the financial support eases a heavy burden. Gratitude, because someone believed in my dream. And hope, because it renewed my strength to keep going, even on the hardest days.”
