September 11, 2017/

When Mirta Martin wanted to go to college, she didn’t have money for the application fee.

"I remember people giving me a chance. I remember a teacher actually wrote the check to apply that got me to Duke University because we had no money to even write checks for those applications.

"Now, it’s my time to pass it forward. It’s my time to help others achieve what I’ve been able to achieve," Martin said.
