Kathy Murray's Story
By: Ryan Hernandez
Kathy’s son was born prematurely and wasn't expected to survive. However, he fought against the odds and was eventually able to live a normal life. Since then he has needed treatment for various problems and the medical bills piled up. For a parent who has gone through so much, winning the scholarship felt like a miracle. When her name was called, Kathy didn't think that she had actually won and it took two calls for her to react. She was ecstatic when she got up and received the award that she was sure she wasn't going to get. The gift that the Parents Association and the Salesians gave her was truly one that she will always remember. For the gift of having your son happy and educated is one that is priceless, and Kathy was able to do just that.
