We’re proud to share the inspiring journey of sisters Brea and Makayla, shining examples of how

Catholic education, supported by Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation, can shape bright futures.
Brea attended Holy Family Regional School in Commack, made possible through tuition assistance from Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation. Her academic achievements and dedication earned her a scholarship to Saint Dominic’s High School in Oyster Bay, where she graduated with honors.
She continued her education at Mount St. Mary’s College, where she served as a Resident Assistant while boarding on campus. Brea graduated Magna Cum Laude, a testament to her hard work and commitment.
Today, Brea works for a leading women's health physician and credits her Catholic education for her personal and academic growth. As she says, “I am a believer that a Catholic education is superior—both for spiritual growth and educational development."
Thanks to tuition assistance from Tomorrow’s Hope, Makayla also attended Holy Family Regional. She continued her education at Saint Dominic’s High School and recently graduated from Farmingdale State College.
During her time at Farmingdale, Makayla was honored with their Phenomenal Womyn Award, which recognizes women who make significant contributions to the campus community. Her journey continues as she pursues her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Stony Brook University.
Makayla credits her early Catholic education for giving her the foundation to succeed. “Catholic school gave me the skills, drive, and faith I needed to follow my path in life,” she shares.
We’re proud of Brea and Makayla’s accomplishments and grateful for the support that helped shape their futures.
