⭐ Appreciation Post ⭐
Imagine you're a parent of a student who followed a dream of becoming a dentist, working hard at school to get good grades, go over and above volunteering long hours at Humane Society of Tampa Bay, logging all the hours into Profferfish, so he could deemed eligible by Florida Bright Futures only to find out that his trancripts and scores were lost in the system, thus him having to pay for school out of pocket?
After weeks of going back and forth and up and down, we finally got the news we wanted to hear. 🔊
🐠 Heather DePalma the CEO of Profferfish 🐠 went above and beyond to help my son and family out. She instructed me on the appropriate steps I needed to take in order for Emerson to be eligible for Bright Futures. You're an amazing person, and I can't wait to see the insane success you're going to achieve.
All Florida county schools need Profferfish!! If you're a parent in Florida and either have a child going to be a Senior, and currently are filling out paperwork, losing volunteer hours, and frustrated with the current system, call your schools!
Students not using Profferfish right now, have to manually fill out paperwork, then take it to their nonprofit to sign, then their counselor and then the parent. Imagine alllll the lost hours of volunteering that are hidden in the bottom of a backpack, under a car seat, or eaten by a dog (or shark if you're talking 🦈 )
