Discover RVR's achievements through inspiring Success Stories of individuals who have risen to fortune, acclaim, or remarkable accomplishments. More Success Stories Tasha Theetge In 2007, I was 17 years old. I woke up one morning and decided I was going to leave high school, had my daughter at a young age, and got married. I began working as a food server at the local casino, working crazy hours and doing everything I could to navigate the challenges of life. Then life happened—I got divorced at 23 and became a single mom to a newborn and a 5-year-old. I worked two jobs and lived in a studio apartment, often going on days without eating just to ensure my kids had everything they needed and wanted. Fast forward two years: I met my current husband, Jeff. As we got to know each other, I embarrassedly admitted that I was a high school dropout. He asked why I hadn’t pursued my GED/HSED. I explained that I often felt like my own worst enemy, constantly talking myself down and making excuses for not having time to pursue it. He mentioned a woman named Nina, who works at River Valley Resources and offers GED/HSED classes in Vevay at the Tech Building, including evening classes on my days off. I said I would think about it. Two weeks later, he asked if I had reached out to Nina, and of course, I made another excuse for not doing so. One Tuesday evening, he showed up at my doorstep and told me to get dressed to go to class, offering to watch the kids while I tried it out. I accepted his encouragement. When I walked into the class, Nina welcomed me warmly, and her encouragement was extraordinary. I had never met anyone who cared about my education and future as much as she did. After committing to attending classes for six weeks, Nina scheduled my testing at Ivy Tech. I was a bundle of nerves that morning, sitting in the parking lot having a panic attack because I was so scared. Just before I got out of my car, Nina called to wish me luck and reminded me to breathe. Taking her advice, I walked into that testing center with newfound confidence. Three hours later, I passed! I earned my diploma! I had conquered my fear! I felt an immense sense of pride and gratitude towards Nina and my husband; they had provided the extra push I needed, but they said that I was the one who had done the work. Now, I work with individuals who need the same encouragement. I have become the person I always wanted to be, and I am incredibly proud of my HSED. Even more so, I am grateful to work at the place that helped make my dreams come true of helping individuals who were like me. I am a mom of three and a wife to a man who is my biggest supporter. I tell my clients, "If I can do it, so can you." I am here for them every step of the way. I’m not just their coach, I’m their friend. I am so thankful for River Valley Resources. My Success Story

Jane's Kids The Bethany Legacy Foundation (BLF) established the Jane’s Kids Endowment in 2023. Jane Jacobs had great compassion in her heart for children, so when she learned there were many children in the community whose families could not afford summer activities, she did something about it. That lead to the creation of the Jane’s Kids Summer Scholarship Fund, which marked its 10th anniversary in 2024. Jane’s Kids, a program at the Clearinghouse of Jefferson County, provides financial assistance to families for children’s summer activities. Bethany Legacy Foundation established this endowment to provide perpetual funding for the program, as delivering safe, fun, and engaging activities for local youth aligns with Bethany Legacy Foundation’s mission of making Jefferson County the “healthiest place in the world.” Annual grants from this Designated Endowment will be sent to River Valley Resources to support the Jane’s Kids program so they can continue to provide access to summer programs for our youngest residents.
