Achievement Facilitator
Hello, I want to give you a little bit information about myself, I was born March 12, 1990 In Merrillville Indiana. I have been in northwest Indiana my entire life. I love bowling and getting together with friends and family when time permits.
I also enjoy going to my local church and want to start getting involved with doing more community outreach projects. I guess you can say that I live a normal life, but it was not until early January 2019 when I started to notice that a switch was starting to occur in my life. I started to recognize that God put me on this earth for a purpose.

Matthew Santana
Director of Marketing and Communications
Gary, Indiana is where He was born. severely premature at 1 pound and 3 ounces. By the grace of God, He survived. Survival gave him purpose in life from the very beginning.
He knew that he had a mission to fulfill on Earth, and he learned early to recognize my talents and gifts. Being HELPFUL and HOPEFUL were his callings that he answered early.
Bryana Harmon
Volunteer
Oddly enough I didn’t think I’d enjoy working with children. I initially thought I wanted to be a nurse. I started taking those science courses and quickly realized it wasn’t for me. So I then spent the summer tutoring elementary children while I decided what program I would switch to come fall.
My mission in working with children is to provide a safe space for every child. I want to be that advocate for children who may not have one. I also want to be that voice that lets a child know they are worthy and capable.
