Meet our July $1000 Winner
“I’m happy to be a part of Fund My Future for my daughter Anajah’s education and I’m looking forward to enrolling my youngest daughter and get her savings started early” —Ms. Nikia Pitts
Ms. Nikia Pitts joined Fund My Future in the Spring of 2019 at an event hosted by Lincoln PreK-5 Elementary School where her 9-year-old daughter Anajah attends. During the event, Ms. Pitts visited all tables, but there was something about the Fund My Future table that stood out to her.
After learning more about Fund My Future and the fact that she could win by making a deposit of at least $1, she figured, she should take care of it right now. She enrolled and later went on to open a savings account for Anajah but never thought that she would actually win.
She started receiving Fund My Future correspondences including phone calls, newsletters, and monthly reminders to make deposits. She said in July she was really happy to get the reminder because it prompted her to reinstate her daughter’s account, which was closed due to her losing her wallet. So she made a simple phone call to her bank and had the funds deposited, not thinking she would win but happy to get the reminder to get back on track which is something she had planned on doing but with COVID-19 occurring it slipped her mind.
Then on August 3rd, she received the email and phone call she would never forget! SHE WAS A $1000 WINNER! She could not believe she won. Ms. Pitts says she will include her daughter when she makes in-person bank deposits. This has been a wonderful experience for Ms. Pitts and she plans on making deposits every month.
