Review for Ruffian Foundation, Castle Hayne, NC, USA
There's nothing better in this world than knowing that you've truly made a difference, and alleviated the suffering of endangered animals. Volunteering at the cat sanctuary really makes a difference - I go home feeling exhausted and floating on air! (Review entered by GreatNonprofits staff member from paper review on behalf of reviewer)

Review for Jeannette Rankin Women's Scholarship Fund (JRF), Athens, GA, USA
After a wasted life spent working at low-paying, dead-end jobs, and unable to figure out why I was unable to succeed in life, I was finally diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome in 2008. The diagnosis was such a blessing, breaking through all of the crumbling walls which I hid behind and allowing me to find a way out of the morass in which I dwelled. With the help of counselors, doctors, friends, family, and a great support team, I was able to address my biggest stumbling block, that of getting a college education. I started college in the fall of 2008, and have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams! From seeking a one-year vocational degree, I have expanded my college dream to encompass achieving two associate's degrees within three years of first starting school, and I plan to transfer to the state university for my bachelor's degree, and hopefully someday my master's degree. The Jeanette Rankin Foundation has been instrumental in helping me to achieve my dreams, not only by awarding me a scholarship to help pay for my education, but by providing encouragement and support at every turn. I couldn't have come this far without JRF! Thanks! Hillora Lang
