David, Valedictorian

MEET DAVID

David’s story is proof of what is possible when faith, family, and opportunity come together. Once struggling to learn English and falling behind in school, he found support through Our Kids at Heart. With guidance and commitment, he flourished, helping his family grow in faith, and excelling in school. By high school, he graduated as valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA and a full scholarship to the University of Texas, where he now studies engineering at the top of his class. David’s journey shows how one decision can transform not just one life, but an entire family and community.

Call to Compassion

In every parish across the Austin Diocese and Brazos Valley, families in need sit beside us in our pews, schools, and neighborhoods. Our Kids at Heart walks with them, offering not just an education, but transformation. We help children grow into faith-filled young adults, strengthen families, and build communities ground in love and purpose.

Be the Spark

David’s story is a reminder that countless children are still waiting for someone to believe in them. Your sponsorship can be that spark, helping a child see their worth, a family find hope, and a future begin to shine.

Sponsor Today

Transform a generation. Ignite a legacy of faith and hope. Every gift matters. Every child matters. David’s journey began with a single decision—and ended with a legacy that transformed an entire family.

WE PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO EXPERIENCE CATHOLIC EDUCATION

Our Kids at Heart provides tuition support to more than 224 economically disadvantaged students from parishes in the Austin Diocese. Our tuition support program is so important because Parish students who participate in the Partnership School Program obtain a High-Quality Education while transforming their families. When students begin Catholic school, it gives their families new hope, and soon many things are set right in the family. They pray together, they attend mass regularly. The students embark on a journey of discovery, growth and are forever changed!

The students carry their Catholic identity and values for the rest of their lives and they become leaders in our churches and our community. They are then willing to give to others because they were blessed to receive this great gift and treasure of Catholic education.

We would like to provide this opportunity for more kids.
