With your help, I am now able to have my car repaired and safely back on the road.

Once again, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation for your generosity. Your kindness and compassion have touched my heart, and I will always remember your act of selflessness.

Dear Sponsors, I would like to thank you for your generous help who sponsored me and my family to keep our warming cozy home. As there can be difficult times, your generous help has made a tremendous impact on our cause and we would like to express our sincere appreciation. I'll be forever grateful! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless you all. Sincerely, M.G.

Yesterday I received really good news about my application for the assistance that I applied for. I have no words to explain how thankful I truly am. I feel extremely blessed that God heard my prayers through this one phone call I made to Diana Randolph and then finally came across you. I am excited to meet you and thank you in person as well for this great gesture. My kids and I will be able to finally be at peace knowing we will still have a place to call home. I do not only want to take, but I also want to offer help in any way I possibly can to another in need. Thank you so much again for your help and may God bless you for all that you do. Sincerely, P.

Diana, I would like to thank the sponsor for rescuing me and my granddaughter in this time of need. If the sponsor didn't step in to help us, we would have been facing a Summons and possibly an eviction. Since my daughter died I have been doing my best to raise my granddaughter. God has been with me every step of the way. It's amazing how he sends Angels like you to make a major impact in our lives. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love, D.

Thank you for your donation!! I am grateful for this opportunity. Your support inspires me to be better. Thanks to you, I can get my car fixed, so I can continue to be a productive member of society. ~ C.W.

Today is a very happy day, less stressful for me and my daughter Krystal and my granddaughter. We really appreciate the deposit money to move in to a bigger place. We are so grateful. Thank you Pathway from Boys to Men. Thank you Ms Randolph for all the help and time with my application. God bless you all, thank you so much to the sponsor that was able to bless us. God bless you as well from ~ B.

Hello, I wanted to take a moment and write this. I wanted to let everyone know how grateful I am to be able to pay my tuition for the year. This means so much to me, words can't explain. Knowing that I can continue to be in school and not have to worry about getting suspended due to not being able to pay and it makes me push harder in school. I really do appreciate this and I will forever be grateful. I will be doing an act of kindness just to show my gratitude and let people know that there are people out there that are willing to help someone in need. Again, thank you so much. Sincerely, ~ S

Dear Sponsors and leaders of Pathway from Boys to Men, I thank God for you. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. This is what I put into practice and when I was found homeless even while working, I called many resources, BUT this organization heard my story and was compelled to help. Thank you. THANK YOU! God I love that there are people that help those that can't help themselves, I can't save myself. I need to reach out, even when I've been doing things on my own and without the help of others. I still don't want to be too independent to forget that I still need a shoulder to lean on. And humble enough to ask for help. God bless your ministry and non-profit in the name above every other name. Amen. Shout out to Mrs. Randolph for being so patient with me through the process - thank you ~ R M

I would like to thank Pathway From Boys To Men and the sponsors of this program for what they have done for not only me and my family but other families as well. I really look forward to donating back to this program and doing Gods work and giving back to those who need it as well. This is now my commitment to make another family's prayers come true. This program is amazing and they work quick, the people are spectacular, open, honest, and make you feel comfortable and welcome like family. I'm so grateful for everything this program has provided me and plan on paying it forward 10 fold. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I'm blessed beyond reason for the sponsors of this program. ~ Sincerely, M.R.

First off let me say I'm extremely thankful for this blessing and I am writing this email to say I am appreciative of your program and everything you guys do for the community and I can't wait to repay it forward as well. This has lifted a huge burden off of not only my shoulders but my unborn child's as well, so again I'm forever grateful for you guys, God bless. ~ H. R.

Thank you so much I can't stop crying right now. It has been such a difficult time in my life. After living with these roommates I had very little hope that I would get any kind of help because I know on paper I make enough but when you're trying to help someone that does not want to help themselves it usually drains you as I've learned. I plan not to be a drain. I will continue working hard and hopefully help someone else like this one day. Thank you so much for your donation. ~ S. R.

First and foremost, I would like to say thank you for granting me a scholarship so I can fix my vehicle. Your scholarship is a blessing and allows me to not have to worry about my car breaking down on me, so I can continue to work and be productive once again. As formerlybeing incarcerated and trying to put y life back together, you have no idea of how thankful I am. I never would have thought good things would come to me, but I know know that there are organizations and people who haven't given up on me. I will pay it forward in every way I can. I started today with pumping a lady's gas and it's humbling to make someone smile for such a small gesture. I thank you for not only blessing me with a scholarship, but taking the time to even consider helping me. Thank you to the leaders of Pathway from Boys to Men, their sponsors and the men and women who help support this fine organization. ~ Sincerely, J. W.

Hello, I want to give my biggest thanks to your non-profit for helping me and my child at a time like this. Having the resources that you habe granted me has blessed my home and has allowed me to get things in order. Your non-profit has no idea how much this has helped me and I am truly blessed to have been given your information. Diana has been a great and patient help. I couldn't be more happy at this moment. Thank yiu a thousand times! Thank you! ~ T. W. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Mrs. Diana Randolph and Pathways from Boys to Men for assisting me in being able to relocate to a new home. I was in a dire situation where my finances and health were compromised due to the unhealthy demands my former landlord and son put upon my family, and me being forced to move suddenly, after we had just relocated to a prior residence. We were financially disabled after being there for six months. I am forever grateful to Diana for being a counselor at times and encouraging me to keep going on. I am grateful for Pathways from Boys to Men, and the existence of this program for everyday working people who sometimes need help. I pledge to give back in some small or big way. I will buy lunch for a homeless person and donate clothes to a charity.
Thanks again, Forever Grateful, ~ T. H

To the Pathway from Boys to Men. I, S. W. and my daughter are very grateful for the help you have provided. I trusted God and reached out for some help and it was your organization who I found. The people I have spoken with have been helpful and very nice. I'm so very grateful again. Sometimes things happen and we get into a bind. My goal is to be a blessing to someone else in need when I get back on my feet. Again, we thank you and appreciate your help. May God bless you all! The whole entire team/staff who work and consider the needs of others. ~ SW

I would like to take the time out to think Pathway from Boys to Men and Miss Diane for being there in my time of need I didn't know what to do or who to go to I was all out of options, and you guys were there to help me in my time and me this has been a very unusual journey that I have to go down with not having help with bills, rent, with my car, and you Miss Diane was a good listener and a good person to talk to. I want to thank you guys for all the help and support for me and my family. Sincerely ~ET

Dear Board of Directors,
My name is L.S. and I want to thank Diana and Pathways to Boys to Men for everything that you have done for me. I know that you have plenty of work and people to help but when I called seeking help, you answered and listened. Words cannot express my sincere appreciation to you for your assistance in helping me and my son to be able to stay in our home.

A lot of people have been just barely getting by during the pandemic and it's been a struggle. Combined with the current rise in inflation, I personally felt like I am being pushed over the edge. My business has been very inconsistent and numbers are down from last year. One day I was telling a client of mine about how I was not able to get help from other programs and he said to try you guys. Who knew that this would lead me to an organization that actually cares? I talked to a real person and was able to open up about my problems without being judged or rejected. I haven�t been able to pay my rent and I needed help. Not only was there financial support but I was helped with budgeting, finding other sources of income and invited to financial seminars. Your kindness and generosity will remain with me forever.

Thank God for organizations and people like this and may he truly bless you for the generosity and gratitude you have shown to me and my family. Because of your help I know that I can get back on my feet and also help someone else down the line, thank you again. ~ LS

Dear Board of Directors,
I would like to send a sincere "Thank You" to the entire group there at Pathway From Boys To Men. Although I have only met one of you (Diana Randolph), I am sure you all are just as pleasant and assuring as Diana.

I am a Retired Executive Secretary of 35 years from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. I never thought I would be in need of Financial Assistance at this time of my life, but I found myself to be in desperate need of help. I have been in a 6+ year battle for my Service Connected Disability Retirement for which has left me with limited income. Trying to juggle a mortgage and basic home necesssitites was hard enough and then to add vehicle repairs on top of that really made things difficult and unbearable. I started searching on the internet for some type of help. I ran across a statement that said if in need of financial assistance call you local 211. I was then given the number for Pathway From Boys To Men. Not knowing if and how they would be able to help me, I was put in contact with Diana. She and I spoke back and forth for a few days and she not only pushed to help me with my car repairs, she also helped me with my HOA bill that I was behind on. I woke up the following morning to an email of approval. I immediately felt a big weight had been lifted and I can now breathe a sigh of relief. I am very grateful for this organization. I will be willing and able to pay it forward with any secretarial assistance I can offer.. Thank you all again for helping me in this time of need. It is very much appreciated. Have a blessed day, ~ SM

I would like to thank the change reaction for their immense generously in supporting me while I finish school. As a way of giving back, I have created hygiene kits to give out to those in the area that may be experiencing difficulties and/or homelessness in our area. I also plan to continue volunteering with Pathways from Boys to Men, Inc., in there efforts to support underserved members of the community. Thank you again for the program’s kindness and support! ~ IO

Thank you Ms Diana / Pathway, for blessing me with my security deposit for my new place. I really appreciate all that you have done. May God continue to bless yo so that you can continue to bless others. What you are doing to help others in the community is a blessing. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was a pleasure meeting you and also learning more about other services that you do at Pathway. Gratefully yours, ~ BC

Dear Pathway from Boys to Men,

I wish I had stronger words than ‘thank you’ to express how grateful and appreciative I am of these funds. It means so much to me and has alleviated so much stress and anxiety during my time of need. Although in a perfect world I would love to be in a position where I didn’t need financial assistance, I truly am grateful for the moments of hardship so that your act of kindness is more meaningful and not soon forgotten. Thank you. I can’t wait for the opportunity to match this level of kindness to someone else. Additionally, thank you for the opportunity to receive training on financial literacy and your showed support and investment in the sustaining of my quality of life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, not just for me but for the many others you are helping. With so much gratitude ~ ES

Thank You Pathway from Boys to Men, Inc., Diana Randolph, Associates & Sponsors

"You took common courtesy to an uncommon level. We're so grateful for your help. Sometimes we don't know where !when !how !and who !is next to sit on the chair of life's challenge and who is going to be your angel! Here we were on the chair of shame, hardship and embarrassment. you came and took the challenge away! We would like to say thank you so very for your kind thoughts, hands, heart and spirit. We will be on the street without you all. My daughter graduation would be for sure somewhere we would not call home. We say thank you. Sometimes the given hands don't know what it's does to the receiving hands! Until the receiving hands express its true meaning. Simply you save us and protect our dignity and uplift our hope and faith. God will bless you we are speechless and will be forever with you all. God will bless and thank you again, and we are looking forward to uplift someone like you did to us. We trust in God he is the master of miracles and possibilities." Warms regards ~ D. Family
