A letter from Dulce ...

Dear Community,

What gives you hope and brings you joy? For me, it is my little one, my Levi. He is my light, and I love seeing his eyes light up when he knows the answer to a question or learns a new word.

But it wasn’t always this way.

As a toddler, Levi was quiet and shy. He didn’t speak. I was worried I’d done something wrong. Then, my friend told me about a Mile High United Way program that could help Levi catch up with other kids his age.

That moment changed our lives forever.

For three years, Mile High United Way staff Catalina and Nancy visited my home and taught me how to support Levi’s learning so he could start kindergarten ready to succeed.

Now, Levi is more open and friendly. I felt so much joy when his teacher told me how he raises his hand saying, “Oh, I know the answer!” Mile High United Way helped my son find confidence in himself.

His change is a miracle to me.

This holiday season, you can help even more families like mine with a year-end gift of $25, $100 or $300 to Mile High United Way.

Catalina and Nancy also helped me discover the path toward a bright future for myself. I joined a Parent Advisory Council and shared my ideas to strengthen our community.

With Mile High United Way’s support, I also received my early childhood education teacher and director certifications from the Community College of Denver. These degrees give me the confidence to dream big. I’m proud to work as a paraprofessional in Denver Public Schools as I complete my associate degree on the path to becoming a teacher. I love encouraging other children’s growth – just like Mile High United Way helped me nurture Levi.




From providing utility payment assistance and connecting my family to other basic needs resources to providing Levi with books and holiday gifts at community events like Children’s Holiday Party – Mile High United Way has helped my family find a new path toward success.

Your generosity creates new opportunities for hundreds of Metro Denver families and children like mine. 

Please support Mile High United Way so every family can achieve their dreams, big or small.

With immense gratitude and hope,
