  • I was recently a recipient of the Allergies Shaped My Life Foundation’s Basket Scholarship. I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped get this package to me, from the people who read my essay to the person who wrote the kind note inside the box! It brightened my day and reminded me that my allergy doesn’t always have to drag me down. A few weeks ago, I went to the ER for my first allergic reaction in three years and the most severe reaction I ever experienced in my life. I learned that my allergy has gotten worse with time, making it even more dangerous. That day was painful, humbling, and scary. This box of delicious snacks came at just the right time. I’m looking forward to enjoying all the goodies over some textbooks this fall, with peace of mind that these are extra safe for me! Thank you so much for your work. It has been empowering in a situation that made me feel powerless.

  • I just received the scholarship in the mail today! I just wanted to express my most sincere appreciation for the generous scholarship you all chose to give me. I hope my story with allergies is one you’ll be able to share with others, to help people see the good in something that typically isn’t viewed in such a way. That said, I promise to work hard at Bryant university and hope to one day be in a position where I can give back to the community myself. Again, thank you so much for your support of my academic endeavors, it means a lot to me!

  • Logan's allergy basket arrived safe and sound yesterday and all I can say is wow! The contents of that basket were truly unbelievable!

  • It was an absolute honor to receive the Allergies Shaped My Life Foundation Monetary Scholarship. I have so much appreciation for this foundation and the opportunity that they have created for those impacted by allergies. I was touched to receive this scholarship award and a hand written letter from the foundation in the mail. As a scholarship recipient of this award, I feel empowered to embrace living with celiac disease and to advocate for others whose lives are also impacted by food allergies. My dream is to pursue a career helping others improve their health and wellness, and with the assistance of the Allergies Shaped My Life Foundation, I am one step closer to making this dream a reality.

  • I first became aware of the Allergies Shaped My Life organization while researching various scholarships for which I was eligible. As I prepared to enter my first year of college, I found myself overwhelmed not only by financial concerns but also by the uncertainty of how I would navigate this new chapter of my life in an unfamiliar environment. While many students experience this transition, managing severe allergies added a significant layer of complexity to my situation. The prospect of not knowing whether the campus cafeteria would be safe for me, the challenge of communicating my dietary restrictions to unfamiliar restaurants, and the delicate conversation I needed to have with my roommate about avoiding certain foods due to my allergies were all sources of considerable stress. Living with allergies often imposes a sense of burden, as you must frequently ask others to modify their behavior for the sake of your health. During my scholarship search, I not only discovered a financial opportunity but also found a supportive community through Allergies Shaped My Life. This organization provided me with a sense of belonging and understanding that I had not previously encountered. Being part of this community allowed me to connect with others who share similar experiences, making me feel both accepted and understood. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being welcomed into such a positive and encouraging environment. I hold the utmost respect for Giordana and everyone involved in the organization. The Allergies Shaped My Life team has cultivated a compassionate and inclusive community, for which I am deeply thankful. I am especially appreciative of the financial assistance, the resources provided, and most importantly, the sense of community that has been fostered.

  • I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the Allergies Shaped My Life Foundation! I instantly felt a sense of relief to have some funds to assist with allergy friendly groceries especially while I was abroad over the summer! Finding this foundation and reading other people’s stories has been incredibly heartwarming. I feel honored to receive this scholarship and to be able to share my story.
