Daniel Foreacre is a husband, a father and a brand-new graduate from Millersville University who now holds a degree in computer science. His proud wife, Jenn Foreacre, attended the ceremony on December 11, snapping photos and posting about her husband’s achievements online. In fact, it was a series of moving Tweets that put us in touch. <br /> <br /> Fresh off the heels of graduation, Daniel is now a Ph.D hopeful. He plans to begin his doctorate next fall. The applications have already been sent out and he expects responses sometime this February. <br /> <br /> Earning his undergraduate degree was a significant milestone and personal victory for Daniel. He’s overcome a lot of obstacles to arrive at this point in his life. “More than anything else, my graduation from Millersville is evidence that in spite of the mistakes I’ve made and the valleys I’ve walked through, I CAN accomplish what I set my mind to,” he says. <br /> <br /> This isn’t Daniel’s first go at college. He graduated with an associate degree in math/computer science from HACC in 2021. Before that, he spent three years working toward his degree in computer science at another university. Daniel was forced to drop out due to serious ongoing health issues he now knows stem from fibromyalgia. After he left school, Daniel began working at Burger King where he worked his way up the ladder to general manager. It was there that he met his wife, and the pair eventually had two children together. <br /> <br /> In 2012, Daniel lost his job due to the ongoing difficulties of managing fibromyalgia. “I spent several years as a stay-at-home dad while my wife worked from home, until both the company she worked for laid her off and she began having serious health problems herself,” he explains. “With our income next to nothing, we attempted chapter 13 bankruptcy but failed because we could not afford the payments and our home was repossessed in June 2017.” They couch-surfed and looked for help, but because they didn’t have stable housing, their children were taken into the custody of Lancaster Children & Youth on the day before Thanksgiving. “Things spiraled from there,” shares Daniel. “We decided to go to the Water Street Mission.” CONT'D BELOW
