Times-Union Reporter Beth Reese Cravey tells Morris' story, and those of some others who have benfited from the mentorship and support provided by Take Stock in Children.

"Now 26, Morris has a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a master’s degree in taxation and is working as a certified public accountant. She so valued her mentor staying with her through college and beyond, they still get together occasionally and she became a Take Stock mentor herself."
