Growing up in the city of Springfield he has seen many friends lose their lives and freedom. Emanuel says “since before I was born there was a statistic stating how and why I wasn’t going to make it anywhere. Whether it was incarceration or death, I was bound to be a failure according to society.” He has taken all these words and used them as his motivation to overcome and succeed.

Emanuel’s ultimate goal is to become a doctor and give back to his community by working at Baystate Medical Center and someday opening a clinic that would treat patients regardless of health insurance or ability to pay.

This is the second year Emanuel has been awarded Springfield Partner’s Community Scholarship, he impressed the committee once again with his strong community involvement and academic success.

I spent a terrible winter here. My boiler blew up on me, then my water went out, then my electricity went out, so I had quite a hard time,

The two story house at 124 King Street that was purchased by Curtis Vaughn’s grandparents in the 1920s needed a lot of work. But Vaughn, who lives in the house with a son and a daughter, said at age 82 he was unable to do the repairs himself and couldn’t afford to hire contractors.

“I spent a terrible winter here. My boiler blew up on me, then my water went out, then my electricity went out, so I had quite a hard time,” Vaughn explained.

Mr. Vaughan is very grateful to Springfield Partners’ Weatherization Program for replacing his heating system, insulating the walls and attic, and for air sealing his home. All at no cost to him.

With Springfield Partners help we saved up to 50% on our fuel bill! The work Springfield Partners, Weatherization program did is sure to help save us on fuel costs and assist in keeping warm for years to come.

“I am 42 years old and have never had any sort of public assistance in my life before this past fall. I divorced last summer and have very little income at the moment. The service of insulating my new (moved in Nov. 2014) home that is 90 years old was invaluable to me. We went through so much fuel this winter. With Springfield Partners help we saved up to 50% on our fuel bill! The work Springfield Partners, Weatherization program did is sure to help save us on fuel costs and assist in keeping warm for years to come.

Thank you again for doing what you’ve done. I will always be grateful!”

Sincerely, Danielle Dellaquila

“Leanna has been with New Beginnings since she was 15 months old. I have never had a disappointing moment with the program. I have always had good communications with the teachers. I believe I got more than I bargained for. This was my first pre-school graduation and it was great! I would say any parent that’s looking for a good location for childcare should definitely consider New Beginnings. I have never ever had a disappointing moment with them. “
