Meet our 2025 recipients:

Grace Keeshan

Hi there, my name is Grace Keeshan and I am studying Sociology with a Spanish minor at DePaul University in Chicago. In March of 2023, my mom was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. As the disease has progressed, my family has had to navigate and adapt to numerous changes. Among these changes have been having to move houses, transferring schools, and overall having to be more conservative with finances. Despite these circumstances, my mom continues to be a light and source of inspiration and joy for me and my family. To hear that I would be selected as a recipient of the ReaCH 2025 scholarship, I was overjoyed and so grateful. Being awarded this scholarship has provided me with meaningful support, and has decreased the burden of the student loan debt I must pay toward my education. I am incredibly grateful to the Hodor family for their generosity and support, which will forever have an impact on my education, my life, and the lives of my family. 

Alice Grzynkowicz

My name is Alice Grzynkowicz. When I was eight, my family lost an incredibly important person. A mother, daughter, wife, sister, and friend. Learning to live without her was the hardest thing I have done. However, I moved forward, with her as my motivation to succeed. In high school, I turned this motivation into action. I joined organizations from sports to student council and so much more. When it came time to apply for college, I immediately dove into the process and found the perfect school for me, the University of Missouri- Columbia. With goals to become a physical therapist, I chose to major in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology. When I learned I was accepted to the school, my focus switched to decreasing costs as much as possible. Even with the money given to me through the school, it was going to be expensive. I began applying to scholarships left and right, looking for anything that would help. This scholarship will play an important role in decreasing the financial burden that is paying for post-high school education. I am so incredibly grateful to the RCH 22 Foundation for awarding me this scholarship and investing in my future.
