From the Executive Director Dear Friends, It is our joy and pleasure to bring this annual report to you. The joy and pleasure is a direct result of your faithfulness to the mission of United Way Midland, so that we can unite community resources with identified needs. All of us are in touch with the fact that last year’s fund-raising totals made it a banner year. This year, the total is less by about 15%.

However, we need have no lament over that fact. We should express gratitude for each person who, in this economy as we are fond of saying, gave. We in Midland are known literally, the state and world over, as the most generous community one can find. We are known as those who give and do and accomplish things that stymie other communities,

because we know we can.

Even in a less than desirable economic time, we give.

And for that, we can all be grateful.

Every donation is vital to assisting community partners assist Midlanders to live better lives. Every donation is essential to seeing continuing initiatives make a difference in lives, every day. Transitional housing is still changing homelessness one family at a time, using case-managed programs to raise families out of poverty and into self-sufficient living.

Students graduate because we hold XY Zone in our schools. Children are learning to read on grade level by first grade because of a literacy liaison teaching them intensely each week at Crockett Elementary.

3

Club Read still impedes the “summer slide” of reading capabilities as each child reads in the summer.

Community partners with more than 30 programs still assist human needs for interaction, supervision, therapeutic relationships and healthy, self-sufficient lifestyles. So, we simply say, “Thank you Midland, for living united.”

Read this report and allow its words to remind you of the hearts, minds and lives you are helping transform.

Allow that to sink in deeply, as participation in making another’s life better is the best kind of reward. Thank you.

Dr. Mark Alexander Executive Director

“This is why I do what I do! I have found that these kids yearn for relationships and respect. If you can show them these things, in my experience, it will give them the courage to do and be more, and gives them the confidence to believe in their own ability. That is what I want for them, now and in the future.�

READY TO READ TO LITERACY LIAISON Formerly known as Ready to Read, this program has evolved into a full-time Literacy Liaison position. In the 2015 – 2016 school year, the United Way of Midland funded a pilot program.

The full-time Literacy Liaison position is assigned to Pre-K and Kindergarten students at Crockett Elementary. The Literacy Liaison works with individual students and in small groups to read and focus on foundational reading skills such as text concepts, print concepts, and phonetic awareness. The program also provides social interaction with the hope of creating an excitement and love of reading in the students. Additionally, volunteers read with the students several times each month and United Way provides books for each child to take home with them.

The program at Crockett is outcome focused and students participating are tested monthly using the I-station Indicator of Progress (ISIP) and 3 times a year using the Fountas and Pinnell Text Level Gradient assessment. Crocket principal, teachers, and the Literacy Liaison started tracking students in September 2015 and as of March 2016, the ISIP data has shown a 12% increase over March 2015 students reading on grade level (Tier 1).

“I have had the opportunity to work with a young Kindergarten student since the beginning of the school year. She is smart but tends to act out in class and often refuses to complete her school work, yet she flourishes during our one on one time together. I recently took her to the library and let her pick out her own book. She came back to the couch holding a 2nd grade level book. As we opened the book she announced SHE would like to read the book to ME! I agreed knowing it was well above a Kindergarten reading level. She not only read the book beautifully, but she did it with gusto! When she finished the book I asked her where that came from and she said, “I got to pick a book I wanted to read, and I did it!” YES SHE DID! This student has improved 7 reading levels in three and a half months and well surpassed the goal her teachers and I had set for her. When I told her exactly what she had just accomplished, she was beaming and you could see how proud she was of herself.”

Health

Help everyone to be physically and emotionally healthy.

The United Way of Midland invested $923,570 into 22 community programs in this focus area.

MIDLAND CHILDREN’S REHABILITATION CENTER: HIPPOTHERAPY Six-year-old Conner, born with Cerebral Palsy, has been coming to MCRC for therapy most of his life. He comes for occupational, speech, physical and hippotherapy! Conner, couldn’t walk when he first came to MCRC. His then physical therapist decided it would be helpful to sign him up for Hippotherapy. Like many children with Cerebral Palsy, getting on the horse takes away the law of gravity so that the child can focus more on the movement of his or her gait. Now, Conner is able to walk confidently in his walker without any help. His posture has improved, and he has gained strength in his legs.

Education

Help Children and Youth achieve their full potential.

The United Way of Midland invested $477,157 into 11 programs in this area.

MIDLAND FAIR HAVENS CHILDREN’S ENRICHMENT PROGRAM At the beginning of the 2015-16 school year, a single mother was especially concerned about her 6th grade son, “Brandon”. His grades were poor and he seemed to be disengaging with school. Even after a rocky first six weeks that resulted in barely passing grades, this young man’s tutor would not give up, but continued to encourage him and applaud small improvements while challenging him to do more.

Gradually, “Brandon” began to believe that he was capable of doing better and he realized that his successes were worth the effort. By the last six weeks of the semester, he was recognized on the ‘A’ Honor Roll and he achieved 2nd place in the school spelling bee. His mother said to the CEP coordinator, “I don’t know what your tutors do with these kids but my son thinks he can do anything now and he likes school.”

Mrs. F.G. attributes being alive today to the Meals On Wheels program. She had fallen and could not get to her phone to call for help. She laid on the floor until the Monday Meals On Wheels volunteer found her and called an ambulance. She also stated she was appreciative of the Meals On Wheels for Paws program as she often would go without eating to be able to feed her cats. Now she receives extra food from The One Day at a Time pantry to help get her through the month and also regularly receives cat food so neither she nor her pets ever have to go hungry. Mrs. F.G. feels much safer in her home now that she has visits each weekday. She enjoys the friendly conversation and feels cared for. She reported that now she has special friends that call her on the weekends and evenings just to be sure she is okay.

XY-Zone

XY-Zone Initiative began in 2011. Now encompasses collaborations with Communities in Schools (CIS), Midland Independent School District (MISD) and the United Way of Midland, now encompass collaborations with Palmer Drug Abuse Program, and Rays of Hope, in order to help guide males ages 15-18.

In the 2015 school academic year: • 100% of XY-Zone seniors graduated.

• 99% of the XY-Zone students stayed in school.

• XY-Zone was able to conduct almost 300 individual sessions and over 100 group sessions with students.

In 2013-2014, Sophomore “Chase” was referred to the XY-Zone. Chase was in the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) and he was having a tough year due to some poor choices he had made at the beginning of the year. XY-Zone staff along with PDAP staff began to visit him while he was in DAEP. Chase was facing an expulsion and at his expulsion hearing, XY-Zone spoke on his behalf and Chase decided that he wanted to be in the XY-Zone program. By the second semester of Chase’s junior year, he was making A’s and B’s. He also gained the confidence to share his story through a public speaking event along with XY-Zone staff. As a senior, Chase has had a dynamic change. In football, he was a starting linebacker and appointed as one of the team captains. XY-Zone has noticed that the underclassmen respect Chase and listen to what he says. Chase is preparing to graduate in the spring. He is working on college applications, ACT/SAT testing, filling out FASFA, and scholarship forms. Thanks to ZY-Zone and the United Way of Midland, Chase has a great plan for his future. *(name changed to keep confidentiality)

Families Forward

Transitional Housing Collaboration with United Way of Midland and Family Promise Families Forward Transitional Housing opened its doors to its first family on December 20, 2013. Since that time, nine families have been enrolled in the program and served by Family Promise of Midland. Of those nine, five families have graduated from the program.

2015 has been a year full of many milestones for Family Promise of Midland, as well as numerous individual family accomplishments including: •

Eight families were served.

•

Three families who were previously homeless, secured their own housing.

•

A total of 30 people were served: 10 adults; 20 children under the age of 18 years.

• Families Forward participant Priscilla

The average family savings increased $1,881.75, with a $15,054.00 savings increase across all families.

•

The average family debt reduced $1,961.00, with a $15,688.00 debt reduction across all families.

•

The average wage/salary increased $1.08 per hour, per family, with an $8.66 per hour increase total for all families.

•

The average credit score increased 24 points, with a 192 total point increase.

•

One head of household family member received a Dental Assistant Certificate.

•

One head of household family member increased income through better employment (went from hourly to salaried employment in the medical field).

•

All adult and teenage family members took part in several trainings on Financial Literacy with MCFCU, Safety Training with MPD Officer Kerrigan and Casa de Amigos.

•

Several adult family members have received counseling services through Agape counseling.

Lorraine entered the workforce when she was just 16 and worked her way up in the retail industry. By the age of 33, her annual salary had reached $55,000, which was quite impressive for a woman without a high school diploma. That same year, she became pregnant. Job stress resulted in the decline of her health and thus presented a high-risk pregnancy. She had to resign from her position and move back to Midland to be near family. Doctors’ recommendations for maintaining a healthy pregnancy did not allow a lucrative job and before long Lorraine could not pay for her vehicle, nor her apartment, thus creating property debt. She had to apply for government assistance and move in with her mother. Lorraine did make it through her pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby girl. She heard about Family Promise of Midland and realized the programs could help her pay off her debt and, ultimately, become self-sufficient. She entered Family Promise of Midland’s base program, Midland Interfaith Hospitality Network (MIHN), staying there 100 days. She then entered Families Forward Transitional Housing, where she currently resides. Upon entering this secondary program, with continued case management, Lorraine has been allowed the time and resources to pay off her debts, get off government assistance, establish a savings account and recover her credit score. In early June 2016, following two years in the program, Lorraine and her daughter will graduate from Families Forward Transitional Housing.

With her current employment, zero debt, respectable credit score and acquired financial skills, Lorraine should be primed for financial independence and self-sustainability!

Club UnitedRead Way Events United Way knows how critical it is for our children to succeed in school. It affects their ability to be successful in today’s world. In the summer of 2015, over 200 students participated in the Club Read program.

The United Way of Midland partnered with Casa de Amigos, Midland Fair Havens, Unlock Ministries, and the Boys and Girls Club of Midland. With the help of these partners, kindergarten through seventh-graders who participated in Club Read received a Summer Reading Kit. The kits consisted of 5 books, a journal, and “Think-sheets” to encourage creative thinking.

In 2015, 94% of all students that completed the Club Read pre and post-test, maintained or improved their reading levels. The greatest increase was a 3rd-grade student whose reading score went from a 5.35 (June 2015) to 9.50 (August 2015)!

Day of Action

United Way Day of Action is an annual invitation for people and organizations around the world to live United and take action to address a variety of challenges. Each year communities around the world come together to harness the volunteer spirit and improve the conditions in which they live.

United Way of Midland celebrated Day of Action on July 29, 2015 with community partner Casa de Amigos.

We aimed at addressing the issue of financial literacy with children from 2nd to 7th grade. Following 2 classroom lessons about financial literacy, children in the program were able to earn “Casa Bucks� through good behavior, attendance and participation. They were then able to use their money to shop at the Casa store.

Courtney received her Director’s Certificate this fall

In early 2012, after driving past the Literacy House numerous times, Courtney Harris decided to enroll with United Way community partner Midland Need to Read (MN2R). “Although I went to school and graduated from high school, reading has always been a little challenging for me.” Her primary goal was to improve her reading skills in order to attend college, as well as to help her children with their schoolwork.

After becoming partially retired in the spring of 2012, Elayne Hanson wanted to use her free time to give back to her community. Her love of reading and desire to help others led her to volunteer with MN2R. Soon after completing her new tutor training, Elayne was paired with Courtney in June of 2012. The pair immediately began working on Courtney’s reading, soon building a true connection, both in learning and in life.

In 2013, Courtney was accepted into United Way community partner Midland Fair Havens, a program that provides assistance to single mothers as they build a self-sufficient lifestyle. Soon after, Courtney began taking classes through Midland College’s Child Care and Development Certificate Program, with the goal of one day opening her own childcare facility. “I have always loved working with kids.” Courtney and Elayne’s focus changed from the material provided by MN2R to the more advanced college-level vocabulary, concepts, and assignments required by courses in infant and toddler development, preschool curriculum, and facility directorship. With Elayne’s guidance and her own determination, Courtney earned A’s and B’s in all of her classes.

In May of 2015, Courtney achieved one of her goals by earning enough credits in her certificate program to walk the stage in Midland College’s graduation ceremony. She credits her tutor with helping her along the way. “Miss Elayne is such a blessing!

She was put into my life so that I can reach my goals!” Elayne couldn’t be happier.

“She is my hero! Courtney makes it all look so easy – she is a self-starter and always puts her kids first. She’s so busy with her work and her children, but she always makes time for her education.”

Now eight and twelve, Courtney’s children have definitely been affected by their mother’s dedication to education. “They are asking about college. We have taken trips to the Midland College campus and the bookstore. They definitely feel the expectation to attend!”

Courtney earned her Director’s Certificate in the fall of 2015. She hopes to begin working toward her Associate’s Degree next year. When she opens her own childcare facility, she plans to continue the legacy of reading and education handed down to her through MN2R and Elayne. “Reading is everything!”

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society

19

Only 26 years old when he came to America in 1831, Alexis Charles Henri-Clerel de Tocqueville traveled all over the young nation. Perhaps his most important observation was that Americans helped each other in time of need.

He recognized, applauded and immortalized the voluntary spirit that lives in America’s heart. “I must say that I have seen Americans make great and real sacrifices to the public welfare; and have noticed a hundred instances in which they hardly ever failed to lend faithful support to one another.”

United Way of America formed the Alexis de Tocqueville (ADT) Society in 1984 to deepen individual’s understanding of, commitment to, and support of United Way’s work: advancing the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all. The ADT Society recognizes local philanthropic leaders and volunteer champions around the world who have devoted time, talent, and funds to create long-lasting changes by tackling our communitites’ most serious issues.

Membership in the ADT society is granted to individuals who contribute at least $10,000 annually to United Way of Midland. The ADT Society of Midland was founded in 1988 with 15 charter members*. In 2015, the ADT Society of Midland had 37 members.

Great Things Happen When We Live UNITED Midland Children’s Rehabilitation Center: West Texas Dyslexia Center (Education) Jacob, nine years old, has been enrolled in the Dyslexia program since July 2013 when he was in first grade. Jacob LOVES reading and can fully articulate his words, but that was not always the case. When Jacob started, he was very hesitant to read in front of others, whether it was a few words, a sentence, or a full story. Now, Jacob is not only confident in reading in front of his Dyslexia tutor, but he has no fear of reading in front of others as well! Not only can he read an entire story, but he can comprehend the story’s content and details. Jacob will be graduating from the program in May 2016.

Boys and Girls Club of Midland (Health and Education) When times are tough in the Permian Basin the staff at the club see the overall impact it has, not just on the children but on families. In many instances lower wages lead to increased number of jobs a family member may need to have and later, longer hours. One mother in particular who, as a single parent with two boys told a unit director that if it wasn’t for the meals served at the Boys and Girls Club she wouldn’t be able to feed her kids until late hours of the night and sometimes not at all. The afternoon meals for many of the “Club Kids” may be the only meal they get in the evening. With times being tough and no real end in sight, we will continue to support families such as this that rely on the evening meal offered by the Club to sustain those children until the next day.

Midland Need to Read - Adult Literacy Tutoring Program (Self Sufficiency) Ulpan’s family relocated to Midland from Kazakhstan due to her husband’s job transfer. When she arrived, she knew little English and was hesitant to get involved in the community.

After learning about MN2R through her son’s teacher, she immediately enrolled in classes at the Literacy House and with an MN2R instructor at Cogdell. “There is a good team at Midland Need to Read. I was surprised at how good the program was!”

In addition to classes, Ulpan also worked with a one-to-one tutor to enhance her English reading, writing, and conversation skills. Her tutor has structured the learning experience to fit her life (around her children and other priorities and interactions in the community).

Ulpan’s newfound confidence with English is a result of her hard work and time spent in instruction. “I’m so grateful for it…

I’m not scared now!” Every chance she gets, she encourages friends new to Midland to enroll. “You HAVE to go. The people are so friendly. Try to stay and learn!”
