DirectBuy $25,000 Grand Prize Makes College Dream a Reality
DirectBuy awards single mom with cash prize.
Waterloo, Canada, October 15, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Winning $25,000 can be a life changing event for most people, but for DirectBuy’s Home Makeover Contest winner Michaela Roder, it changed her daughter’s future. Upon accepting the winning cash prize, she immediately opened a college fund in her daughter’s name.
“Being a single mom is hard and the one thing I want most for my daughter is a college education,” said Michaela. “DirectBuy helps people realize their dreams and through the Home Makeover Contest, they helped make my dreams for my daughter come true.”
Prior to being named the winner, Michaela wasn’t sure how she was going to put her daughter through college on one income. Incredible enough, she was one of the lucky winners to enter and win DirectBuy’s 10th Canadian Home Makeover Giveaway.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to know that we contributed to her daughter’s education and we were able to relieve some of that pressure from her mother,” said Owner Wayne Budd. “She really did a wonderful job raising her daughter and I can’t think of a more deserving family.”
