Welcome To Lean On Foundation

This year we have presented our 4th annual Good Confidant Scholarships. We added 3 more Class D schools to the table along with an additional recipient. Each scholarship awarded is for $1000 to use towards whatever the recipients desire. The participating schools are Humphrey Public, Osceola Public, Overton Public, Howels/Dodge, Elm Creek, and Riverside. Our goal is to reach as many class D schools in Nebraska as we can in the years going forward. Most scholarships are based on academic scores and athletics, but our scholarship is solely based on good character and integrity. The foundation looks for those who are outstanding role models of moral principles and have a polite demeanor. Those that are inclusive & show compassion. 

A Good Confidant is someone who not only listens but who makes you feel heard. They pay full attention when you are sharing your feelings and show that they are listening with eye contact, nodding, affirmative words, and affection. We can all make a difference in someone else's life and our own lives by being a good friend, a good person, asking questions, reaching out, and listening.
We were very touched and in awe by all of the applicants received this year but the committee could only vote on 2 recipients. 

Abilyn Schneider & Adysen McCarter are perfect examples of what a Good Confidant is.
Congratulations to these remarkable young ladies! The world is blessed to have you. Thank you for everything you do and we hope your love and light shine everywhere life takes you.

Thank you everyone for all of your support in Suicide Awareness and Prevention. We love you all!
