Supporting the Rodema Bridge to Learning

Bringing Up Aysha, the Daughter of My Eldercare Years is more than a heartfelt story,it is part of Dr. Charles L. Jarrett’s mission to create lasting educational opportunities for deserving students. Written in honor of his late wife, Rodema Douglas Jarrett, the book reflects her compassion, strength, and belief in the power of education. Inspired by her legacy, Dr. Jarrett founded the Rodema Bridge to Learning scholarship initiative to help hardworking students pursue their academic goals and build brighter futures.

By purchasing and sharing Bringing Up Aysha, readers become part of that mission. Proceeds from the book help support the Rodema Bridge to Learning initiative, extending the book’s impact beyond its pages. Every copy sold not only shares an inspiring story of family, resilience, and hope but also helps invest in the next generation through the gift of education.

 Since its founding, the Rodema Bridge to Learning has already begun making a meaningful impact in the lives of aspiring healthcare professionals. The initiative proudly celebrates one scholarship recipient who has graduated and is now gainfully employed, with the added opportunity to participate in a work-training program that will further advance her career. In addition, the program currently supports two students enrolled in an LPN-to-RN nursing program as they continue their educational journey. These success stories reflect the mission of the Rodema Bridge to Learning, to empower hardworking individuals through education and create pathways to brighter futures, one student at a time.
