Our Impact On Weld County
Since 2009, Weld County based Women2Women (W2W) has provided immediate one-time financial assistance to more than 1568 local women through a referral and application system in cooperation with other 501(c)(3) organizations.
W2W’s goal is to provide a “hand up” that helps women who have unexpected expenses and to date, over $788,461 has been given to assist Weld County women and their families.
What makes Women2Women so unique in filling this critical community need are volunteer board members who make it happen and the speed at which funding is allocated (usually within 48 hours) to women in need. W2W pays assistance directly to local vendors and service providers resulting in a positive local economic impact.
"Thank you so much for your help with my housing situation. We were able to sleep and say, "that’s ours"! I will keep pushing forward to a better future for my kids and I will never forget that Women2Women helped me along the way."
Housing SituationA single mom with 3 kids, needed help with getting her car fixed. She is trying to look for a job, and is thinking about going back to school, and with three kids, she needs her car in working order. Women 2Women paid Phil’s Pro Auto, to make the needed repairs, so she had a safe vehicle again.
Transportation“Women2Women, Thank you for my gift. It’s helped me get back on my feet and I’m on my way with my stable home and clean environment.”
HousingA 69 year-old woman with hearing loss struggled to get by on social security and a part-time job. She faced losing her job because her hearing aids had broken and she could not afford to get new ones. Women 2 Women helped her get new hearing aids which greatly improved her quality of life and helped her keep her job. “Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to you all, my life is so, so much better to be able to hear again.”
