Learning, growing, thriving: Jaquai’s story
“Communication may be key, but it isn’t always easy. At GiGi’s, we make it easier.
Jaquai, a participant at our Virtual Playhouse, is a testament to this. Each week, she attends one-on-one tutoring in Literacy and Math. In her sessions, Jaquai tackles challenging books, masters new concepts, and builds confidence.
But the impact extends far beyond the virtual classroom. At home, she’s applying what she’s learned in real ways. Jaquai’s now texting her mom full sentences to express what she wants. One recent example: “I want the Britney Spears DVD as a present.”
Her newfound communication skills are also shining in her community. Weekly visits to Honeycutt Coffee led to a job opportunity when the owner noticed Jaquai’s enthusiasm. Initially starting as a hostess, Jaquai’s now taking orders, using the register, and contributing in meaningful ways—all skills rooted in the lessons she’s mastered through free GiGi’s tutoring.
We’re so proud to see Jaquai thriving and proud that GiGi’s is playing a role in her journey.”
