Growing up, I faced many challenges—poverty, a single-parent household, and time spent in and out of the jail system. Without a father at home and with my mother struggling to make ends meet, I experienced firsthand how easy it is for young people to go down the wrong path. These hardships shaped me, but they also inspired me to make a difference for the next generation.

That’s why I created 'Life'—Learning Information From Experiences. My goal is to share my story with the youth in our community and show them that there’s a better way forward. I want to provide them with the support, guidance, and resources I wish I had growing up. Through motivational speeches, mentorship, and positive activities, I hope to inspire kids to finish school, find good jobs, and make choices that lead to a brighter future.

To make this vision a reality, I need your help. The funds raised will go toward transportation, materials for the kids, microphones, a building, tables and chairs, and food for the children during our events. I also want to create a recreation gym where kids can play and learn in a safe environment, and provide shirts for our organization members to build a sense of belonging. Your support will help me build 'Life' into a place where young people can find hope, encouragement, and the tools they need to succeed. Thank you for believing in this mission and helping to change lives in our community.
