Meet Alaynai
Alaynai always dreamed of being a teacher. Growing up at Village Park in Sacramento, she was an active participant in the Out-of-School Time programming where she met a teacher who changed her life. “She was always the one who would help me with my homework and my favorite subjects were art and math, but I noticed how she treated people with kindness, dignity, and respect,” Alaynai explained.
Since 2018, Mercy Housing has partnered with the National Real Estate Practice of EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants to award educational grants that help recipients obtain their post-high school educational goals.
When there was a call for submissions for the EPIC Grant, and with a nudge from her dad, Alaynai applied. “I was thinking that I wasn’t going to get it,” she recalls, but much to her surprise, she learned that she was one of the winners.
“I was shocked.”
A college sophomore, Alaynai is pursuing her longtime dream and studying to be an elementary school teacher. “I want to be there for little kids too. I want to leave my mark.”
